BREAKING: Tate Reeves limits college football game attendance, bans tailgates

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves announced his plan to sign an executive order on how college football games can be attended this year, and he's already aware it won't be popular.

Reeves says games will be limited to 25% capacity this season and social distancing of at least six feet will be required between all people who do not share a household. Additionally, Reeves announced that all pregame gatherings including tailgates, parties and rallies will be prohibited this season.

"I know this will not be popular," Reeves said. "It’s no fun. I’ll miss them terribly myself. But it’s better than other states prohibiting football altogether.
