Assuming a 2020 campaign commences, Syracuse football will likely experience a stanza with attendance limitations.

Syracuse football, should it play this fall, will probably do so in front of fewer fans than in years past amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.

That’s the word from Orange athletics director John Wildhack, who says that Syracuse University sports leaders “are anticipating and planning for reduced capacity to some degree” during a potential 2020 football season, according to a letter written by Wildhack and posted on cuse.com.

He said in his letter that Syracuse Athletics is examining numerous potentially viable plans regarding attendance at ‘Cuse home events in the fall.
