Executive Order on public gatherings will increase fan attendance at athletic venues
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – In accordance with the executive order issued by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Monday, Rutgers Athletics will increase spectator capacity at its venues effective immediately. Two parents or guardians of each Rutgers student-athlete will be permitted to attend sporting events held on campus, while the total number of spectators are not to exceed 35 percent of the venue's total capacity.
Additionally, beginning March 1, indoor facilities with a fixed-seating capacity of over 5,000 people will be allowed to operate at 10 percent of its total capacity and 15 percent for outdoor venues. Despite this increase, Rutgers Athletics will abide by the Big Ten Conference requirement that fan attendance be limited to the four tickets allotted to each coach and student-athlete for family members only.
Rutgers Athletics encourages its fans and supporters to continue to take all necessary measures and follow the guidance of public health officials, including wearing a mask, practicing physical distancing and increased hand hygiene.
Athletic department officials will continue to monitor any changes to public health guidelines and adjust accordingly.
