CONCORDIA, Kan. – The Cloud County Community College Athletic Department has released its spring 2021 home athletic event attendance and ticketing policies ahead of CCCC’s first home event where fans will be allowed on Monday, February 8th, 2021.
The change comes amidst the recent vote that was conducted by the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference Presidents on February 1st which now allows for 25 percent of fan capacity for home events as long as schools are able to stay within local health department guidelines. The policy change will go into effect on Saturday, February 6th, and last through at least March 1st, at which time the KJCCC Presidents are scheduled to meet again to discuss further changes to the fan attendance policy.
Cloud County’s first official home event with fans in attendance will be Monday, February 8th when the volleyball team is host to Hesston College. The wrestling team will host their first event with fans on Tuesday, February 9th in a dual with Cowley. The final Cloud County indoor athletic team to play an event with fans in attendance will be the women’s and men’s basketball teams when the T-Birds host Pratt on February 10th.
