The high school football playoff game interrupted by gunfire in Pleasantville on Friday night has a new venue — Lincoln Financial Field.
The Eagles will host the game at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Unlike the previous announcement, that had the unannounced venue being closed to any spectators, the game can be attended by a select group of family and friends.
"Each high school will be provided a defined number of free passes, specifically for distribution to players’ parents and family members," NJSIAA Executive Director Larry White said in a statement, adding the game will still be closed to the general public.
The game will also be livestreamed on NJ.com.
The game was into the third quarter at about 8:40 p.m., when a man started firing in the crowded bleachers.
Alvin Wyatt is now jailed on three counts of attempted murder in the Friday night shooting that broke out in the crowded bleachers.
The believed target, Ibn Abdullah, was struck as well as a 10-year-old boy, who was shot in the neck. Both were in critical condition. A 15-year-old boy was also shot in the arm.
The playoff game was suspended.
Four men who allegedly fled the scene with at least one gun are charged with weapons offenses. Abdullah was also charged after police said a gun was found on him.
The community has rallied around the wounded boy and their football team, whose players were devastated by the events.
Senior Ernest Howard Jr. also announced via Twitter that he will honor the little boy by changing his jersey number to 10, the boy's age.
"I just wanted to honor him," Howard told nj.com. "I thought about it and felt it was a nice gesture. We're still planning on something else, but that will work out until the time comes for the next gesture.
"I don't know him, but he doesn't have the opportunity that we have (to play)," he added.
The New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association first announced the game would resume at a neutral location but would be closed, many in the community were upset that the players wouldn't have anyone cheering them on.
A group then decided to have hoodies made so that the players could wear them to and from the game as a symbol of the community's support.
Hoodies will also be for sale after the game, with the proceeds going to a GoFundMe set up for Micah's medical expenses..
A GoFundMe set up for Micah surpassed its original $10,000 goal, which has now been doubled.
NOTE: This story originally had the game being played in a closed venue with no spectators. It has been updated with the late afternoon confirmation that the Eagles would host the remainder of the game at the Linc.
