Update To Spectator Policy
Southern Connecticut State University Athletics will allow spectators at all home baseball, softball and women's lacrosse games, beginning on Saturday, Apr. 10, 2021.
 
Families and fans of Southern Connecticut baseball, softball and women's lacrosse should not expect similar allowances in attendance at other Northeast 10 Conference venues. The decision to allow attendance at Southern Connecticut's home venues for baseball, softball and women's lacrosse was made exclusively by the University with permission to do so by the NE10. The Conference has not mandated that any school allow spectators at events, but has allowed schools to set their own spectator attendance policy.
 
All individuals attending baseball, softball and women's lacrosse games will be expected to wear masks during the contest as well as adhering to social distancing of six feet between all individuals, including those in their travel parties. Families and fans for visiting teams will not be permitted at this time.
