Hood College spring spectator policy as of April 6

FREDERICK, Md. – The Middle Atlantic Conference Board of Directors met last week as part of the ongoing evaluation of athletics competition and related policies. Based on this review, the Middle Atlantic Conference determined that each institution is best positioned to develop a regular-season spectator policy that aligns with campus guidelines and facility capabilities. 

The following fundamental guidelines apply to any MAC institutional spectator policy:
  • All spectators must follow institutional health and safety guidelines at all times while in attendance.
  • All spectators must wear masks and practice appropriate social distancing at all times while in attendance.
  • Failure to comply with the institutional spectator policy will result in removal from the site of competition.
In accordance, Hood has enacted the following spectator policy as of April 6, 2021.
