After being closed to fans and tailgating in 2020, The Grove is reopening this fall.
Ole Miss announced on Tuesday its intention to welcome back one of the biggest traditions in college football for the Rebels 2021 season. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on large public gatherings, The Grove was closed for the 2020 football season.
On Tuesday, the school announced it intends to operate The Grove, “as it did prior to the pandemic.”
“With its pageantry, hospitality and pure joy, there is no place on earth like The Grove, and as our lives return to normal, there is nothing that will give me more pleasure than to officially welcome Rebel Nation back to the greatest patch of grass in sports,” said Keith Carter, Ole Miss Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics.
