Notre Dame Football To Limit Attendance At 2020 Home Games

Normally when the Fighting Irish takes the field, 80,795 fans are jammed into those seats. But not in 2020.

According to Notre Dame's athletic director, they're going to limit the attendance at games.

"We're committed to having fans in the stands and we'll start with the other students," said Jack Swarbrick during the school's fundraising live stream, admitting, "We haven't yet gotten to the question of how big that audience is. We won't be at capacity. We'll do something less than that."

For Swarbrick, the issue is keeping up the recommended social distance separation as well as maintaining that as people enter and exit the venue.
