7. Miscellaneous Information During major games, tickets cost money. All of that money goes to the Ridgefield High School as a fund to support the school. The team plays at other home fields on Connecticut, which can be looked at as a field trip in a way. Volunteer work can be spreading the word of games online, and through the school papers.
