JHS Friday Night Lights Caring for Community
See a night game with temporary lights
In early fall 2023, Jesuit High School Sacramento hosted two Friday Night Lights football games under temporary portable lighting. These games allowed the school to put into practice the Night Event Operations Plan, engage with the community, host games early in the season at home out of the heat, and bring alumni, families, and fans together in a classic family-friendly school-spirited atmosphere.

Jesuit Stadium Lighting Permitting Process Begins
Dark-Sky Certified Lights to Provide Safe Environment for Players and Spectators
To protect players and spectators and make the best use of school facilities, Jesuit High School has applied to the County of Sacramento seeking approval for a Use Permit Amendment to install state-of-the-art lights in the stadium. The need for lighting has become increasingly evident due to the extreme late summer and fall heat, particularly for football, causing stadium conditions that present significant health risks for players, event participants, and spectators.
The proposed lighting technology eliminates light trespass and has been reviewed and certified by the International Dark-Sky Association to respect neighboring residents. Moreover, with an emphasis on moving our home football games to Friday nights, away from competing weekend daytime campus activities, will relieve traffic and reduce parking intrusion into the surrounding neighborhoods.
