Vanderbilt University announced on Friday that they will not allow any spectators to attend home games for all fall sports starting now and running through the end of October. The decision comes in regard to health and safety concerns surrounding the coronavirus.
Here is what Vandy’s athletic director Candice Lee had to say about the situation, according to the school’s press release:
“Our student-athletes and coaching staffs are ready to compete and win in the best conference in the nation, but we recognize that we have to do so in our ‘new normal’ environment, where we need to focus on keeping everyone as healthy and safe as possible.
