Join the Rensselaer Central Bombers for their home opener game on Friday, August 28. Kick-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. Due to the April storms, the damaged bleachers have been removed and replaced with temporary bleachers for our 2026 season. The process for permanent replacement bleachers is underway, but the construction will not begin until the 2026 football season concludes.

Seating will look a little different - please read more about seating and additional instructions as we join together and cheer on our school!
🏈High School Student Section has been moved to the South Endzone
🏈High School Band will be positioned in between the Temporary Bleachers and North Handicap Deck
🏈Home Fans are permitted to bring in lawn chairs as we expect that we have more fans standing along the fence line than usual.

Gates Open at 5:30 p.m. Please do not come earlier in the day to reserve your spot in the bleachers.

Note: Stay off the track. We have areas roped off by the Shot Put and Long Jump to keep everyone away as we try to grow grass. Parents are responsible for their children. No pets, outside beverages, or balls are permitted at the event.

We appreciate your understanding and sportsmanship as we begin this season and represent the Rensselaer Central Bombers!
