Big Ten allows attendance at sporting events, clearing way for fans at Maryland spring football

The Big Ten Conference on Wednesday announced it will allow attendance for all remaining 2020-21 regular-season competition and spring football events, so long as local health guidelines permit, clearing the way for fans to watch Maryland’s spring football practice, which opened Tuesday.

In a news release, the conference said that the change is effective immediately. A limited number of fans were admitted for the conference’s men’s and women’s basketball tournaments in Indianapolis.

“The goal is to transition from a conference-wide approach to local decision-making in consultation with public health departments and university medical experts,” the release said.
