WVU athletic official says plan for fans was carefully put together

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — WVU Athletic Department officials are confident in their plan to allow the return of fans at Milan Puskar Stadium this fall.

Matt Wells, the WVU Senior Associate Athletics Director of External Affairs was a guest on Tuesday’s MetroNews ‘Talkline’ and said the stadium operation plan at 25% capacity for the October 17 game against Kansas was carefully tabulated.

“We didn’t just pick a number of 25-percent out of thin air,” Wells said. “When you do the math and break seating blocks into twos, fours and sixes and space them out appropriately to have social distancing, it came out to about 15,000 seats.
