Rhodes Field, one of the finest venues for soccer in Philadelphia, won’t be hosting home soccer games this fall for the University of Pennsylvania.
The Ivy League on Wednesday announced a decision to cancel all sports competing “prior to the end of the fall semester.”
“With the information available to us today regarding the continued spread of the virus, we simply do not believe we can create and maintain an environment for intercollegiate athletic competition that meets our requirements for safety and acceptable levels of risk, consistent with the policies that each of our schools is adopting as part of its reopening plans this fall,” a statement from the Ivy League presidents released on Wednesday reads.
