LAWTON – Cameron University President John McArthur released a statement on Tuesday regarding attendance at the home basketball games on December 11 and 12.
Â
"During the month of December 2020, there are currently two home basketball competitions scheduled to be held in the Aggie Gym. To minimize health risks during the conclusion of the Fall 2020 semester including final examinations and to assure that our Aggie Gym operational health and safety plans work effectively for our student athletes, coaching staff, officials, athletic trainers, and visiting teams, no admittance to the Aggie Gym will be permitted for fans or other guests during these two scheduled competitions. This restriction applies to current students and employees as well."
Â
The decision goes along with two other Lone Star Conference schools making the same decision as well as three others who will not have spectators at home at all during the 2020-21 basketball season. Information for each facilities protocols can be found on the website schedules and in pre-game releases.
Â
Fans will still be able to view the games on the Lone Star Conference Digital Network thanks to the broadcast team at the Oklahoma Sports Network, who covers all of Cameron's men and women's home basketball games. LSC officials recently released a modified pricing model that will allow fans to stream all LSC events via a $10 day pass that will last 24-hours from purchase time.
Â
Cameron University administration is continuously working to come up protocols that protect our student-athletes, staff, fans, and community. More information regarding the remaining home games starting in January will be released at a later date.
The games against Midwestern State on Dec. 11 and 12 will begin at 5 p.m. on Friday and then at 3 p.m. on Saturday with the women playing first and the men to follow.Â
