The Holy Cross athletic communications office provides services to all members of the media in their coverage of Crusader Athletics. Information to assist the media is provided below. Any media member who has additional questions or needs further assistance should contact the office at (508) 793-2571 or athleticmedia@holycross.edu.
Credentials & Scouting Passes
Passes are required for all football, men's and women's basketball and men's ice hockey games. All requests for working media credentials should be made to the athletic communications office at least one week in advance, preferably in writing. All credentials will be left at the will call window. Every effort will be made to accommodate all members of the media, but as space is limited, we may not be able to honor all requests.
Radio Broadcasts
At football, basketball and ice hockey games, Ethernet lines are available for use. Please contact the athletic communications office in advance to make sure there is space for your broadcast.
Parking
For football games, accredited media will be given passes allowing access to the parking garage adjacent to Fitton Field. For events at the Hart Center at the Luth Athletic Complex, parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. The parking lots in front of the Luth Athletic Complex are ordinarily able to handle all your parking needs. Please note that there is no specific area for press parking at any athletic event, and any member of the media not arriving at least one hour before game time is not guaranteed parking space.
Game Day Services
At football, men's and women's basketball and men's ice hockey games, pre-game press notes, roster cards and programs are available to the media approximately one hour before game time. Final statistics / box scores will be available following the game.
Postgame Procedures
All Holy Cross locker rooms are closed to the media. Members of the media should submit player requests to a member of the athletic communications staff with five minutes remaining in the contest. Following a 10-minute cooling off period, requested coaches and players will be available. Requests for interviews with the visiting team should be made with that school's sports information director.
Coach & Player Interviews
Personal interviews with Holy Cross coaches and athletes can be arranged through the athletic communications office. Players are normally available in person and for phone interviews on non-game days, subject to the individual student-athlete's academic responsibilities. Arrangements for all interviews should be made at least 24 hours in advance. Personal phone numbers will not be given out.
Football Media Availability
Head football coach
Dan Curran will have weekly media availability every Tuesday during the season at 11:00 a.m., held virtually via Zoom. Individual student-athletes may be made available upon request near the end of the call. All members of the working media are welcome to attend. For more information, please contact
Sarah Kirkpatrick Ryan.
