CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Fan capacity at John Paul Jones Arena is limited during the basketball season, but thereâs still a contingent of fans making their presence known inside the arena, via cardboard.
The University of Virginia Athletic Department has sold over 1,200 cardboard cutouts of fans. Almost the entire lower bowl has been filled with the silent spectators. These cutouts are still available for sale.
Todd Goodale with UVA Athletics says often times these cut-outs tell their own stories.
