Friday night, Aug. 25, marks the return of the “Backyard Brawl” rivalry game between Mishawaka and Penn High Schools after a four-year hiatus.

Large crowds are expected at Penn’s Everwise Freed Field, so fans are encouraged to allow plenty of time for parking, getting tickets, concessions and finding a seat.

There will be extra security in place.

Fans are not allowed to bring in bookbags, noisemakers, or balls and you cannot travel in-and-out of the stadium.

Penn will host tailgate for fans of both teams when the gates open at 5 o’clock.
