The University of Jamestown eased some of its sports attendance restrictions related to COVID-19 on Friday.

No restrictions will be placed on who is eligible to attend home games at Harold Newman Arena, according to a statement issued to the media by University of Jamestown Athletic Director Sean Johnson, but capacity will still be restricted to 600 individuals.

"Our first revised policy will be tomorrow afternoon (Dec. 12) when our Jimmie women's basketball team hosts Dakota Wesleyan at 2 p.m.," Johnson stated. "We will sell tickets to the general public, Jimmie Booster Club members will be allowed to attend, and UJ faculty and staff may bring their families to the games at Harold Newman Arena."

The ease in restrictions, which allows the general public access into Harold Newman Arena for games, does not include John L. Wilson Arena.

"This does not apply to home hockey games at Wilson Arena which are still under tighter restrictions and do not currently allow for UJ faculty, staff and student admittance, public ticket sales or the use of Jimmie Booster Club passes."
