Virginia Tech athletics statement on latest COVID-19 measures in Commonwealth of Virginia

BLACKSBURG – On Friday, November 13, Governor Ralph Northam announced new actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Included in these measures, which took effect at midnight on Sunday, November 15, was a reduction in the initial capacity of 1,000 for entertainment and amusement business, including sports venues, to 250 people.

The Virginia Tech Department of Athletics continues to work with University and healthcare officials, as well as state and local government representatives, to determine what these new regulations mean for fan attendance going forward. We continue to work through the adjustments necessary for the two remaining home games in Lane Stadium, currently scheduled for December 5 and December 12.

As of today and due to the statewide order, there is no opportunity to offer tickets to the public for Hokies athletics events held in Cassell Coliseum, beginning with the start of basketball season on Wednesday, November 25. We will continue to monitor the situation and work to provide updates on future plans as we learn more and adapt to the information available.

Thank you for your patience as we work through these continuous adjustments.
