BETHANY COLLEGE CHANGES SPECTATOR POLICY

November 3, 2020
LINDSBORG, KAN., November 3, 2020 – Effective immediately and until further notice, Bethany College will not allow outside spectators into athletics events. Due to a rise in COVID-19 cases in McPherson County and surrounding counties, it is in the best interest of the safety of our students, faculty, and staff to not allow outside spectators. Home athletic events are available to watch online. Most visiting athletic events also have live video available. Links for those events will be posted on the Bethany Swedes website.

A maximum of 150 Bethany students will be allowed entrance into events in Hahn Gymnasium, and a maximum of 350 Bethany students will be allowed entrance into events at Anderson Stadium. Students must reserve tickets in advance online, and must provide a current Bethany ID with their ticket at the gate. Masks and a minimum six-foot social distancing are required; if masks and social distancing protocols are not followed, students will be escorted out of the facility.

Those who have pre-purchased tickets to events where spectators are no longer allowed, will be refunded. The Athletics Department will work with Hometown Ticketing to get the refunds completed as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact Laura Moreno, Dean of Athletics, at (785) 227-3380, ext. 8369, or Bradlee Yoder, Sports Information Director, at (785) 227-3380, ext. 8178.
