Nebraska Announces Policy for Face Coverings at Home Athletic Events

In accordance with the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department Directed Health Measure announced Tuesday, Nebraska Athletics and University of Nebraska-Lincoln leadership will follow a reinstituted face covering (mask) mandate for all indoor spaces in athletic venues.

The new DHM from LLCHD runs from Thursday through Sept. 30 and applies to Husker home competitions during that time. The mask mandate will affect Nebraska games differently depending on the venue and the different types of spaces in the respective venues, including primary seating areas, concourses, club levels, loge seating, private suites and press areas.

Nebraska Athletics has worked closely with the LLCHD throughout the pandemic and will continue to do so throughout the upcoming 2021-22 athletic season.
