"Due to Jackson County, North Carolina’s continued State of Emergency, Western Carolina University football will play their scheduled home game against Wofford on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 2:30 p.m. without spectators.
There are still rescue and recovery efforts happening around our region and the NC Department of Transportation has requested everyone in the area keep roads clear for emergency and disaster relief vehicles to get to the hardest hit areas.
Campus officials are also sensitive to the impact this storm has had on our local community and the scarcity of resources in Jackson County, including water, food, electricity and fuel and do not want to take away those much-needed resources to host a typical game-day experience that our fans are used to in Cullowhee. Should conditions change, the university will provide an update.
The university understands that our fans will be disappointed, but we encourage our fans to channel their Catamount spirit in helping those who have been impacted by this historic storm.
For more information about ways to help, visit WCU’s website."

Thinking as a parent of a former SoCon Player, FUBeAR would hope they will still allow Players’ families / friends to attend with the normal number of passes/Player. Typically, that is 4, but it’s not an NCAA requirement…or at least it didn’t used to be. It was/is just a standard courtesy, during ‘normal’ games to provide those to your own and the Visiting Teams’ Players’ families.
Not something they would need to announce to the general public.
Would max out at about 650 peeps … or so.

Sucks, but I get it. Unfortunately, this is an advantage for Wofford since they do not have fans at their games when at home! 😂 |

I would not be surprised if this holds true for next week's home game as well
