W&J Will Limit Spectators At Spring Athletic Events

January 26, 2021 2:40 am

Washington & Jefferson College supports the Presidents’ Athletic Conference decision to limit spectators at athletic competition during the spring 2021 semester. W&J home athletic event venues will be limited to student-athletes, coaches, support staff and essential game personnel only.  We will continue to discuss and monitor our plan with our campus Covid-19 advisory groups as we navigate through the spring 2021 semester.  The PAC’s decision to begin the semester with either no fans or limited fans (on-campus students only) in attendance was reached by the PAC Presidents Council during their most recent meeting earlier in January.  Officials say that both the PAC and W&J share and appreciate the frustration we all feel regarding these limitations on fan attendance, but we must keep our initial focus on our top priority, which is a successful “return to competition” for our student-athletes.  W&J says it and fellow PAC members plan to video stream as many athletic contests as possible through the PAC Digital Network, which can be downloaded as an app for Roku and Apple TV devices in addition to streaming on PCs and mobile devices.
