Texas State announced Friday afternoon it will implement a number of health and safety measures for fans during game days at Bobcat Stadium for the upcoming football season.
“These guidelines will help us manage the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, game officials, fans, staff, and visiting teams,” Texas State Director of Athletics Larry Teis said. “Our goal is to provide the safest gameday environment. We have been working in conjunction with the NCAA, the Sun Belt Conference, university, federal, state, and local agencies to keep Bobcat Athletics facilities safe and within the State of Texas guidelines. It is more important now than ever that all of us follow these guidelines and recommendations so that we all can stay safe and continue playing this season. We look forward to seeing Bobcat fans cheering on our teams this fall.”
The measures are designed to help curb the impact of COVID-19 while allowing fans to attend games this fall. The stadium will be limited to a maximum capacity of 25% for the team’s season-opening game against SMU on Sept. 5, a total of 7,500 seats.
