Following the latest guidance from the Shelby County Health Department, Memphis Athletics announces the loosening of capacity restrictions for upcoming Tiger football games. The change moves social distancing between seating groups from 12 feet to 6 feet, resulting in an increased Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium seating capacity from 4,500 to anticipated capacity of nearly 12,000 for the UCF game, presented by FedEx, on Oct. 17.
“We’d like to thank our partners at the Shelby County Health Department for keeping the health and safety of our Memphis community at the center of every conversation,” said Memphis Director of Athletics Laird Veatch.
