“We look forward to being at capacity in all of our venues this upcoming season,” said senior vice president & Wolfe Foundation endowed athletics director Gene Smith. “As long as the trends with Covid 19 and the variants keep moving in a positive direction and we don’t see any spikes, we’re hopeful we can get back to where we were prior to last year. We encourage everyone to get vaccinated if you have not already done so.”
