With all the uncertainty surrounding the college football season, one thing is certain: to get into an Oklahoma football game this fall, you’ll have to wear a mask.
Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said on Friday that mask will be a requirement this season.
“I respect they may not want to go to a game and wear a mask.” he said. “But if you’re gonna come to a game at Oklahoma, it’s going to be a requirement. We ask you to accept it. If you don’t accept it, then you probably should make the decision not to come to the game.”
Oklahoma announced they project an approximate 25 percent capacity for an upcoming season in a press release.
Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium seats just over 80,000 fans. That would put Oklahoma’s seating capacity this year at 25 percent.
Castiglione said the precaution isn’t just for the fans, it’s for everyone.
“We’re asking our student-athletes to wear a mask everywhere… To come into the stadium and to stay in the stadium, you have to be wearing a mask to live the entire experience. That’s just the way it’s going to be. I understand that might not be what people want to do.”
