Oklahoma State announced last week that it was implementing new safety measures in and around Boone Pickens Stadium for the 2020 season, including a mask mandate, the creation of additional space between seats, and the cancelation of tailgating. And it appears stadium capacity will be reduced, too.
The near-56,000 capacity of the stadium will be limited to 25% this season to accommodate for the pandemic, per Sports Illustrated, putting the total per-game capacity under 14,000 (excluding suite-level seating). Here’s how OSU plans to implement those changes, per SI.
However, Pokes Report has learned there will be groups of pods throughout the stadium and that Oklahoma State University President Burns Hargis has made the decision there will be six-feet of space between each seating pod.
