The Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference voted on Monday to let limited numbers of fans return to league events.
That means that Hutchinson Community College fans can return to the Sports Arena beginning this Saturday, February 6. The Blue Dragon women's and men's basketball teams are playing host to Cloud County at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. this coming Saturday.
Tuesday's Blue Dragon volleyball match against the Barton Cougars will still be under the no-fan restriction.
The league voted to adjust the league's Covid-19 policy to allow member schools the opportunity to fill up to 25 percent of the available seats for fans at each league venue.
The mask mandate will still be enforced at all conference venues.
Each KJCCC school will set its own ticketing and capacity procedures for home events.
The Hutchinson Community College Athletic Department will release its ticketing plan for the Sports Arena this week in time to purchase tickets for Saturday's games.
Seating plans for Hobart-Detter Field, Gowans Stadium, Fun Valley and the Salthawk Sports Complex will be announced at later dates.
One other change to normal game-day procedure is that there will be no concessions available at regular-season games this season at all league sites. There will be no outside food or drink allowed at Blue Dragon venues.
This adjusted league policy will run through March 1. The league will re-evaluate at that time if adjustments will be made.
