Fans must wear masks at SEC football games

COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Southeastern Conference is leaving it up to schools to determine how many fans are allowed to attend football games this fall with several caveats, including this one: Fans will be required to wear masks.

The conference released a long list of fan safety guidelines and policies on Tuesday as schools prepare for the SEC’s revised 10-game conference schedule in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

Missouri plans to allow fans to home games this year at no more than 25 percent capacity of Memorial Stadium’s normal threshold of 62,621. In an email sent Tuesday to Mizzou fans and season-ticket holders, athletics director Jim Sterk said MU will reseat Memorial Stadium this season based on donor rank both within the premium club spaces and grandstand bowl seats.
