Maryland Athletics is welcoming fans at full capacity to its sporting events for all 2021-22 athletic seasons, including football and basketball next school year.
This comes as Prince George's County is lifting all capacity and distancing restrictions for indoor and outdoor sporting venues.
In following the county guidelines, the university said normal operations may resume. Face masks are required for everyone older than 5 -- including people who are fully vaccinated -- at all indoor venues, while on public transportation and at crowded outdoor venues, including concert venues and ticketed sporting events.
"We are very grateful to the officials in the state of Maryland, Prince George's County and the University of Maryland, who continued to safely navigate us through these difficult and unprecedented times," Maryland Athletic Director Damon Evans said in a statement. "We knew the day would come when we could welcome our loyal Terp fans back to our venues at full capacity in a safe manner. This is wonderful news for our community and the entire state of Maryland. We are excited to have every seat available for our Terp Family to come out and cheer on our Terrapins."
