There will be no Grove tailgating or game day activities during the fall football season, Gov. Tate Reeves said in a press conference today.
“I know this will not be popular. It’s no fun, and I’ll miss (game day activities) terribly myself,” Reeves said. “But it’s better than being a state that’s prohibiting football altogether.”
This decision comes after the SEC’s announcement of its health and safety guidelines for football season. Stadiums can only have 25% capacity of fans, and traditional game day activities could only happen if social distancing were possible.
Mississippi State had already canceled alumni tailgating by the time this decision was announced.
