SE Revises Outdoor Sports Attendance Policy

DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern has announced a revision to its outdoor sports attendance policy and will now be permitting fans for the sports of baseball, softball, men's and women's tennis, and football with venue specific guidelines in place for student-athlete and fan protection.
 
The new policy points are listed as follows:
 
•             Fan attendance is permitted at outdoor sports venues due to the nature of outdoor competition and the enhanced ability to safely socially distance.
•             Fans in attendance must adhere to Southeastern Campus, Great American Conference, state and federal guidelines, which specify the wearing of facial coverings (masks) at all times and social distancing.
•             Attendance is free for all fans, with seating on a first come, first served basis limited by the capacity of venue seating.
•             Fans may sit in bleachers where socially distanced is marked or may sit in self-provided chairs as long as socially distanced 6 feet from the fences surrounding the playing area.
•             Fans will not be permitted to gather behind home plate/backstop/sidelines/field/courts areas nor team areas (dugouts, benches, etc.).
•             Fans are asked to refrain from interacting with players on either team at the site of competition prior to, during and following the games.
•             Fans will be asked to register their attendance.
•             Signage will be posted around the venues and announcements made to remind attendees to wear masks and properly distance themselves from anyone outside of their household unit or family cluster.
•             No concessions will be available at SE home outdoor events.
•             Fans are encouraged to follow standard COVID-19 safety guidelines and self-evaluation practices, such as washing and sanitizing hands frequently.
•             If you are ill or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, please do not attend the games in person.  Links to the live stats and live video (when available) will be available on the schedule pages for each sport at               www.gosoutheastern.com so you can watch from home.
