It has been a great first week of the new school year, as we welcomed our students back to the classroom! Grain Valley Schools remains focused on the same motto: Every student. Every day.

Let's have a great school year full of growth, hard work, and, of course, plenty of fun along the way. 🦅🤩

Seating Sections at Home Football Games

When joining us for a home football game this season, please adhere to the following seating zones to ensure a positive fan experience for everyone. These guidelines apply only to home football games. For other home activities, all home seating is considered General Admission for all student and adult fans.
  • The Marching Eagles will occupy the end zone. 
  • Grain Valley High School students will occupy the southernmost section of the bleachers. High school students will occupy the lower portion of the section, and middle school students will occupy the upper portion.
  • Reserved Seating requires a ticket from GoFan. Reservations for these blue stadium-backed seats are offered to anyone as a fundraiser through the GV Eagles Booster Club to support all students by funding Grad Night, a safe, fun event provided to graduating seniors on the night of graduation. For more information on reserved seating, please visit the digital ticket website. 
  • General Admission takes up the largest number of seats for our parents and the general public who do not elect to participate in the Reserved Seating option.
