MTSU Football To Welcome Full Capacity Crowds For 2021 Season

/in , /by

The MTSU Athletic Department have announced that Floyd Stadium will be open at full capacity this fall for the Blue Raiders 2021 season. The traditional tailgating will return as well as popular fan-friendly amenities inside the 30,788-seat stadium, such as The Family Fun Zone and The Beer Garden. Masks will not be required for entrance to the stadium.

“We are excited to have our great fans back in Floyd Stadium,” says Director of Athletics Chris Massaro. “Fans will be able to enjoy all of the game day traditions that go with football season. I’m looking forward to seeing fans tailgating in Walnut Grove, the Band of Blue, the children enjoying Family Fun Zone, patrons experiencing the Beer Garden once again, and the excitement of FBS/C-USA football right here in Murfreesboro.”

Last season, the school limited attendance to 10%–about 7,000 fans per game–due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision to welcome all fans back at full capacity was made in consultation with local and university health officials. The decision also includes full capacity at Dean Hayes Track and Soccer Stadium for the soccer season, as well as the Alumni Memorial Gym for volleyball season.

MTSU opens the season Sept. 4 against Monmouth where the program will celebrate Community Day. The Blue Raiders will then hit the road for the next three games until the return to Murfreesboro on Oct. 2 when they play Marshall University. The Blue Raiders will have their homecoming on Oct. 30 when they take on the University of Southern Mississippi.
