Xavier’s attendance policy for the start of the season was announced today. With the state of Ohio limiting fans in areas the size of Cintas to 300 people there was not much room for Xavier to make individual adjustments, and they didn’t. 300 is the maximum attendance for a Xavier basketball game to start the season. That’s essentially taking part of the student section and spreading it across the entire building.
Well, not the entire building. Courtside is off limits as, indeed, are the entirety of the first six rows. Every block of two to four seats per party (no larger groups allowed to sit together) will be separated from every other group by at least six feet at all times.
