BOONE, N.C. — App State Athletics looks forward to safely welcoming student-athlete families and some spectators to on-campus events this spring.
North Carolina Executive Order No. 195, which went into effect Friday, Feb. 26, permits up to 30 percent capacity for outdoor athletic venues and up to 15 percent for indoor athletic venues.
At all App State venues, six feet of social distancing between seating pods is required, and face coverings are required for all guests and game day staff.
In coordination with university leadership, conference protocols and venue layouts, the following protocols will be in place until at least when the current executive order expires on March 26. App State will continue to monitor these protocols and provide updates with any adjustments.
BASEBALL:
Additional options for fans this season include small-group seating areas at picnic tables and on grass hill pods on the first-base side of home plate, four-person fire pit areas and a heated outfield deck area for groups of six-to-eight people. For current App State students interested in attending home baseball games, a Student Ticket Lottery opportunity will also be implemented. For more information on baseball ticket options,
