Vandal Athletics announced on Friday that a limited number of tickets will be made available for all three home football games against Eastern Washington, Feb. 27, University of California, Davis, March 6, and Southern Utah, March 27.
According to a press release, athletic competitions in Memorial Gym for spring 2021 will not be allowed to have fans attend due to facility limitations. More information on fan attendance for Vandal Soccer will be released at a later date.
According to the release, ticket sales open to the public Feb. 22 at 9 a.m and tickets will be sold in bundles of four, priced at $32 per ticket. Priority access ticket sales begin Monday at 9 a.m., with fall 2020 season ticket holders taking precedence. Individuals will be allowed to purchase up to eight tickets.
For the first time, student tickets will also be available in limited numbers and individual seats will be reserved. According to the release, information on student tickets will be distributed by the Office of the Dean of Students.
“Seating will be reserved throughout the Kibbie Dome with appropriate distancing between groups,” the release stated.
Fans will be required to follow COVID-19 protocols and safe practices, including wearing a mask at all times, entering the Dome through a thermal scanner and maintaining social distancing. All seating will be reserved with appropriate spacing between groups. Access to the Dome floor will be prohibited.
The Dome’s clear bag policy will be enforced and re-entry will not be allowed. Fans will also be asked to enter the building upon arrival in order to limit social gatherings in the parking lot prior to the game.
“The University of Idaho will not be hosting or promoting any pregame or postgame activities in-person,” the release stated.
The Office of Alumni Relations will host a ‘Digital Tailgate’ before every game, home and away. RV parking will not be allowed on campus before, during or after football games and no alcohol will be allowed in the parking lot.
“Complimentary parking will be available on a first come, first serve basis, and will open two hours prior to kickoff,” the release stated. “Doors open 90 minutes prior to kickoff. (Disability) parking will be available in its regular location with proper credentials.”
