Fans walking into the Kibbie Dome for last Saturday’s football game, pitting the Vandals against the Eagles, were greeted with thermal scanners along with countless reminders to wear masks and social distance. Despite the flyers, scanners, signs, enforcement and videos reminding fans of the protocols, many groups of fans didn’t comply.
Contrary to enforcement protocols set forth by the University of Idaho, stating noncompliance would result in a reminder to wear a mask or keep six feet from others and possibly being asked to leave if things escalated, many groups went without receiving a warning.
“All of the protocols we have in place were reviewed with and supported by the public health district,” Dean of Students Blaine Eckles said.
