ROMEOVILLE, Ill. – The Lewis University Athletic Department, in conjunction with Lewis University administration announced on Tuesday (Jan. 11) temporary revisions to its attendance policy for athletic events on campus during the month of January as part of its ongoing efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

The updated policy will go into effect beginning with the men's volleyball match against Maryville on Jan. 11.

Lewis will allow only pre-approved home spectators for competitions held in Neil Carey Arena. Coaches and student-athletes from the hosting teams are permitted to select two guests to attend each event. Student-athletes on BOTH home and visiting teams who are not in uniform for their competition are also permitted to attend.

At this time, NO VISITING TEAM SPECTATORS will be permitted inside Neil Carey Arena for Lewis Flyer athletic events. In addition, NO LEWIS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS will be allowed to attend home events due to University density restrictions. All games are available to watch live and for free on the GLVC Sports Network at glvcsn.com/lewis.

The policy and its guidelines will be re-evaluated by the university administration over the next few weeks.
