Updated on 08/23/2024

  Hi Ravens, I want to start off by saying that you, our fans, are the reason why high school sports are so special, lively, and spirited. There is nothing better for our coaches, student-athletes, and me than looking up into our stands and seeing a packed Ravens Nest.  Your energy, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship has always been second to none and I walk away from each game proud to be a Raven! With that being said, challenging times, like this current pandemic, require us to take certain steps to ensure the safety and well-being of our student-athletes, coaches, and spectators. In coordination with the Michigan High School Athletic Association, we will be instituting a two ticket allotment per participant for outdoor events. Indoor event allotments will depend on certain factors, yet will never be more than two tickets per participant.  Therefore, fan capacity will be extremely limited. In addition, Royal Oak staff, Safe-Ed, and the Royal Oak
