Kentucky preparing for full capacity at Kroger Field for 2021 SEC football season

LEXINGTON - Kroger Field is expected to look closer to normal this fall.

Just less than two weeks after Gov. Andy Beshear announced the state's COVID-19 restrictions would end on June 11, allowing venues to resume 100% capacity, UK confirmed Wednesday it was planning for a "return to its traditional gameday environment" for the 2021 football season. That plan includes full capacity at Kroger Field.

"Coming off three straight bowl wins and the enthusiasm for the team that Coach (Mark) Stoops is putting together, we couldn’t be more eager for the upcoming season," UK athletic director Mitch Barnhart said in a news release.
