Social Distancing in Sanford Stadium? UGA Administration Exploring Options

University of Georgia officials are exploring options for what could possibly happen if the 2020 college football season begins in September, and are advising a plan that would allow a restricted amount of fans in Sanford Stadium.

“We’re running models on various social distancing mandates,” athletic director Greg McGarity said Wednesday. “It depends on what phase we’re in. I don’t think it’s ever going to be business as usual because there’s going to be new standards in play as far as hygiene, the way we look at concessions, the way we look at seating.”

McGarity added that he has been working on those specific details during the last month when society has become accustomed to the practice of social distancing themselves due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.
