So how many season tickets have been sold already?
“We can socially distance our fans in our stadium, wear a mask and people can come and watch Marshall football, but your capacity is probably going to be in the 25 to 30 percent capacity range,” Hamrick said.
Marshall is scheduled to open the season at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in less than three weeks on September 5 against Eastern Kentucky University (EKU). The capacity of the stadium is just over 38,000, meaning a planned 25-30 percent capacity would be between 9,500 and 11,400 fans.
Hamrick said the university’s plan would also make changes to tailgating and guidelines for fans during the game. He said the school will enforce the rule of groups being no more than 25 people and he said the hours of tailgating would be cut down.
Marshall also plans not to allow fans to enter the game once they have left the stadium.
