Texas Longhorns officials are backtracking on their plan to cap Royal-Memorial Stadium’s attendance at 50 percent for the 2020 season, the Austin American-Statesman reports.
From the Statesman: “Texas officials are now looking at the possibility of a 25% stadium capacity – about 24,000 fans – this football season at the request of school leaders, interim UT President Jay Hartzell wrote Wednesday in a campus-wide email. In June, Gov. Greg Abbott issued a statewide mandate for a 50% stadium capacity on all pro and college athletic stadiums to combat the spread of COVID-19.
