The Hutchinson Community College Blue Dragon Sports Information Office is at your service to assist you with coverage of HCC athletics.
Sports Information Director Steve Carpenter and his staff will be happy to serve you in coverage of all 12 Blue Dragon intercollegiate athletic teams during the 2012-13 season.
The HCC Sports Information Office is located in the Humiston Center on the second level of the Hutchinson Sports Arena. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Sports Information office phone number is 620-665-3593. If you need to reach SID Steve Carpenter after hours, call his cell phone at 620-921-1242.
Season or per-game media credentials for print media, radio, television and magazine are required to cover all 12 Blue Dragon intercollegiate athletic teams.
Requests can be made by calling the HCC Sports Information Office or faxing on company letterhead a request signed by the sports editor/director to 620-665-3394.
Per-game credentials must be made no later than two days prior to the event to be covered.
If possible, credentials will be mailed out, but in case media members must pick them up at the site, please read the following procedures:
Gowans Stadium - Media Will Call will be located at the west ticket window of the new Gowans Stadium. The west ticket window will have direct access to the press box elevator.
Sports Arena - Media Will Call will be located at the pass gate at the south door of the west entrance to the Sports Arena. Do not go to either ticket window to obtain credentials.
Gowans Stadium - There will be very limited parking for media members on the west side of Gowans Stadium. As of this time, there is nothing guaranteed in the way of media parking at Gowans Stadium so get there early.
Sports Arena - Parking is free on the east and west sides of the Sports Arena for basketball. Media members are encouraged to park in the west lot for the easiest access to the will call window.
Requests for interviews by all media must be made through the HCC Sports Information Office and then must be OKed through the head coach.
This policy goes for weekly and postgame interviews for all Blue Dragon student athletes throughout the season. Media members who do not follow this policy will be subject to revocation of credentials for the entire season.
