Southern Connecticut State University and the Department of Athletics have announced their spectator policy for all Fall and Winter 2021-22 sports to allow spectators at competitions.

In compliance with the University system, all individuals - regardless of vaccination status - must wear a mask when attending indoor competitions at Pelz Gymnasium, James Moore Field House or the Bruce Hutchinson Natarium. Additionally, spectators are requested, but are not required, to wear masks at outdoor sporting events at Jess Dow Field, Pelz Field or The Ballpark at SCSU. 

Spectators are also asked to practice social distancing whenever possible whether indoors or outdoors, though there will not be restrictions on attendance. 

SCSU continues to encourage fans and spectators to follow the guidance of public health officials, including social distancing and increased hand hygiene. Spectators will not be permitted near team benches or sidelines and may not interact with student-athletes before, during, or after the conclusion of the event on the playing fields/courts. Per University policy, the wearing of face masks is required in all campus buildings and at outside locations where social distancing is not possible.

University and athletics department officials will continue to monitor any changes to public health guidelines and adjust accordingly.
