After playing in an empty stadium to open the season, Arizona softball players will see some familiar faces in the stands moving forward.
UA players are now allowed to bring up to four immediate family members to their games. That will also be the case for Arizona baseball, basketball and soccer.
The UA stopped allowing families in November after initially permitting them to attend football games. They cited the spiking coronavirus case numbers in Pima County as the impetus, but those have been dropping steadily since January, hence the reopening.
Having their families in the crowd is an emotional boost for the players, many of whom haven’t seen their parents in months.
