The move isn’t terrible surprising but it has finally happened: the Washington State Cougars announced today that proof of a COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test within 72 hours would be required to attend home football games beginning in October. The Washington Huskies, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Sounders FC, Seattle Mariners and Seattle Kraken all announced similar policies today.
Like those teams, WSU’s policy applies to everyone over the age of 12. More immediately, the school also announced masks will be required for football games moving forward, beginning with this Saturday’s matchup against the Portland State Vikings.
