Unvaccinated fans must wear face masks at all times at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium

Unvaccinated fans attending Navy football home games this fall must wear masks at all times. Meanwhile, even fully vaccinated fans must wear masks in all indoor spaces within Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, Navy Athletic Director Chet Gladchuk announced Wednesday.

Gladchuk said there will be no restrictions on fan attendance, opening the possibility of a sellout crowd for the Sept. 4 home opener against Marshall and the Sept. 11 showdown with service academy rival Air Force.

All fans who are not fully vaccinated and unable to maintain appropriate social distancing (6 feet) are required to wear a mask covering their mouth and nose at all times, according to the new policy established by the Naval Academy Athletic Association.
