Texas Plans to Limit Football Stadium Capacity to 50% Amid COVID-19, Says AD

The University of Texas plans on limiting seating capacity to 50 percent inside Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium for the upcoming college football season.

As Joe Cook of Inside Texas shared, Longhorns athletic director Chris Del Conte wrote an email to season-ticket holders updating them on plans amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"As we continue to work closely with the Governor's office and follow state guidelines for social distancing, we anticipate seating at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium to be at a reduced capacity," Del Conte wrote. "As of today, capacity is limited to 50 percent."

The email also noted the school expects to offer every season-ticket holder the chance to purchase season tickets.
