Penn State University plans to hold all fall sporting events without fans, according to an email sent to season-ticket holders by the school's vice president for intercollegiate athletics, Sandy Barbour.

Per Greg Pickelof PennLive, she wrote:

"As of today, the current large group gatherings guidance from the Governor's office limits capacity to 250 people for outside events and 25 people for inside events.

"Therefore, under the current conditions and current state orders, our fall sports events would be conducted without fans in the general seating areas of our facilities.
