Just like Neyland Stadium, Thompson-Boling Arena will see reduced capacity for the 2020-21 season. The University of Tennessee announced plans for its basketball season this morning, which aligns with current social-distancing guidelines.
Tennessee will allow up to 4,000 fans in the building, which calculates out to around 18 percent of Thompson-Boling Arena’s full capacity.
“Despite having gone through a similar process for football earlier this fall, the reality that we will be unable to welcome all of our ticket holders into Thompson-Boling Arena this basketball season remains saddening,” Tennessee Director of Athletics Phillip Fulmer said in a statement.
