As of March 11, 2021
On March 10, The Northeast 10 Conference announced that to begin the 2021 spring sport season, no spectators from outside the campus community will be permitted to attend athletic contests. Each NE10 institution may, if they elect to, allow a limited number of students and staff following campus testing protocols to attend home contests if local and state guidelines permit.
At this time, Stonehill is eagerly planning to allow a limited number of Stonehill students participating in campus COVID-19 testing to attend outdoor home contests.
- Attendance will be limited to 40 fans at Wattt Tennis Courts, 40 fans at Gartland Softball Field, 40 fans at Gorman Baseball Field and 250 fans at W.B. Mason Stadium.
- Students are asked to arrive no more than 30 minutes prior to the start of the contest, and students will be permitted into the competition venue until capacity is reached.
- If fan capacity is not reached at the start of the contest, Stonehill faculty and staff participating in college testing protocols will be also allowed entry until capacity is reached.
- All students and staff attending must present their valid Stonehill HILL ID card to gain entry.
- No food or beverage will be permitted to allow for universal masking throughout the contest.
- Masks and social distancing of 6+ feet will be required of fans at all times.
- If a home event is moved off campus for any reason, no spectators will be permitted to attend.
- If a tennis match is moved indoors due to weather or other circumstances, no spectators will be permitted to attend.
Unfortunately at this time, no other spectators (i.e. student-athlete family members and friends, fans who are not Stonehill College students), will be allowed to attend outdoor collegiate sporting events held at Stonehill College until further notice.
Should there be a change in this policy, a release will be distributed via the College’s athletic website, social media outlets and shared with athletic department administrators, coaches and staff.
