Xavier University's athletic department announced Tuesday that men's and women's basketball will begin their respective seasons with a maximum of 300 fans in attendance for home games at Cintas Center, which falls in line with Ohio's current mandate permitting up to 300 spectators for any event held in an indoor venue of Cintas Center's size.
“We have been working diligently with our campus, as well as local and state governments on a variance request that would increase our attendance to around 20% capacity, or roughly 2,000 fans. We are confident that we can successfully execute an event of that size while keeping everyone on the floor and in the stands safe.
