(Ames) Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard is limiting the attendance at Saturday’s football game against Kansas State. Only families and guests of student-athletes and staff will be allowed inside the stadium. The marching band and spirit squad will also attend the game.
Attendance at men’s and women’s basketball games through the end of November will also be limited to families and guests of student-athletes and staff.
“The safety of all individuals remains our priority and with increased COVID positivity and hospitalization rates throughout the state, we feel this is the appropriate action,” said Pollard. “The fan base has been incredibly compliant with mitigation measures this fall, and there are no known cases of COVID resulting from fans attending our games. However, we feel it is in the best interest of our state, community, and university, for the Iowa State Athletics Department to be a leader in limiting social gatherings during these times.”
The ticket office will communicate the options for football ticket refunds after the completion of the season. Fans with tickets to the men’s and/or women’s basketball games in November will receive refunds for those game tickets.
We will continue to monitor COVID cases locally and adapt our plans for attendance at December athletics events in the next several weeks.
