Keith Carter: Ole Miss is working on attendance plan that “optimizes capacity”

The Pavilion and Oxford-University Stadium could have a few more fans sitting in seats this weekend.

How many will get to see No. 4 Ole Miss play baseball is yet to be known, but Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves loosened nearly all COVID-19 restrictions on Tuesday.

Indoor college arenas had attendance capacity increased to 50 percent with Reeves’ Executive Order 1549, which goes into effect on Wednesday at 5 p.m. and runs through March 31.

Reeves lifted all attendance restrictions for outdoor collegiate venues, including O-U Stadium, but Ole Miss has not specified how many more fans will be allowed to attend games.
