MOBILE, Ala. – Working in conjunction with University of South Alabama Health medical experts, the Jaguar Department of Athletics announced Wednesday guidelines for fans attending football games at Hancock Whitney Stadium this fall.

Tailgating will be allowed throughout South's campus on game days, while once inside the stadium gates individuals in outside seating areas will be encouraged — but not required — to wear facemasks.  Facemasks will be required for those located in public indoor areas unless eating or drinking.

Jag fans who are symptomatic or are awaiting the results of a pending Covid test are requested not to come to the game and instead view the available broadcast on ESPN+.

The Jaguars are set to begin the 2021 season on Saturday when Southern Mississippi comes to Hancock Whitney Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. (CDT).
