It’s official, Kansas football will not have fans in attendance for their first game of the season, but it’s still a very fluid situation.

University of Kansas Chancellor Douglas A. Girod issued a statement today announcing that Kansas football will not have fans in the stands for their first home game of the season against Coastal Carolina. Considering some other Big 12 schools like Iowa State and Texas are still having around 25 percent capacity at their stadiums, this is a somewhat surprising decision.
