has announced new game day procedures in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The university is taking several precautions to ensure the safety of fans, athletes, and staff attending games this season.
One of the key changes is the requirement of face coverings for all attendees over the age of two. Fans are asked to wear masks at all times while inside the stadium and when social distancing is not possible. The university will also be implementing staggered entry times to avoid large crowds gathering at entrances.
To promote social distancing, seating capacity will be reduced by 50% and fans will be required to sit at least six feet apart from others not in their group. This will also apply to tailgating areas, where groups will need to maintain a safe distance from others. The university is also encouraging fans to use contactless payment options for concessions to minimize physical contact.
Additionally, all staff and athletes will undergo regular health screenings and temperature checks before entering the stadium. Hand sanitizing stations will be placed throughout the venue for fans to use, and high-touch surfaces will be regularly cleaned and disinfected.
These new procedures are part of the university’s efforts to prioritize the health and safety of everyone involved in game day events. South Dakota State University Athletics is committed to following guidelines set forth by health officials and doing everything possible to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Fans are encouraged to stay updated on any further developments or changes to game day procedures by visiting the university’s official website or following their social media channels. With everyone’s cooperation and adherence to these new guidelines, fans can safely enjoy cheering on their favorite teams this season.
