SoCon announces attendance policies for upcoming championships
In accordance with state, local and campus COVID-19 safety measures, the Southern Conference has determined its attendance policies for several upcoming spring sport championships
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – In accordance with state, local and campus COVID-19 safety measures, the Southern Conference has determined its attendance policies for several upcoming spring sport championships. These policies are subject to change.
For the SoCon Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina, on May 1-2, spectators will not be allowed access into the Catamount Athletic Complex but can view the event from outside of the stadium if desired. That policy was reached following the guidelines from the state of North Carolina’s Executive Order 204, which limits the capacity of venues with spectator stands at a sporting facility, stadium, sporting complex, or speedway, and viewing areas. Spectators were also not allowed at Western Carolina’s home meet earlier this month.
“We look forward to an exciting and competitive event at the SoCon Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Western Carolina,” SoCon Commissioner Jim Schaus said. “Due to compliance with area COVID-19 protocol restrictions, we regret that we will not be able to have public ticket sales this year.”
Limited spectators will be allowed at the SoCon Men’s Lacrosse Championship hosted by Richmond University in Richmond, Virginia, on May 5 and 7. Attendance will be limited to 30 percent of Robins Stadium’s capacity, which is approximately 1,000 spectators. Adult tournament passes will cost $15 and youth tournament passes will be $8. An adult day pass is $10 and youth day passes are $5. Children 4 and under and SoCon students with a valid school ID get in free.
Similarly, approximately 1,000 spectators will be permitted at the SoCon Women’s Lacrosse Championship hosted by Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, at Five Star Stadium on May 6 and 8. Day passes will be $5 for ages 6 and up and children 5 and under and SoCon students with a valid SoCon school ID get in free.
The location of the SoCon Softball Championship on May 13-15 has yet to be determined, as the tournament will be hosted by the No. 1 seed. Spectator policies for that tournament will be announced at a later date.
Approximately 2,500 spectators will be permitted at the SoCon Baseball Championship, which will be held at Fluor Field in Greenville, South Carolina, from May 25-27. The number represents roughly 50 percent of the capacity of the stadium. General admission tickets are $12 each.
