2021-2022 Huskies’ Athletics Spectator Policy Update

Updated December 27

Updated December 27, 2021; Effective Immediately.

GORHAM, Maine – As the return to winter sport participation approaches rapidly, University of Southern Maine Athletics continues to welcome back Husky fans and spectators to home contests on the Gorham campus.

Fans, spectators and visitors should be advised and prepared to meet updated spectator guidelines set forth by the University of Maine System and the CDC.

Face Coverings: Masks are required for all persons – student, staff, faculty or visitors – when indoors at a University facility. This includes the Costello Sports Complex, Costello Fitness Center, Hill Gymnasium, USM Ice Arena and surrounding spaces and offices.
Vaccination Requirements: Effective December 27, anyone attending indoor athletics events at the University of Southern Maine must provide proof of vaccination or an acceptable negative test (within 72 hours) to enter the facility. Acceptable forms of proof of vaccination include a card or a photo of the card. Negative tests must be administered by a qualified provider: at-home tests are not permissible. Children under 5 will be required to comply with a symptom check.
Social Distancing: Spectators are not required to wear masks at outdoor venues but are encouraged to practice social distancing: Hannaford Field, USM Softball Stadium and Flaherty Field.
Food and Drink are not permitted at any venue.
Pets: Only service animals are permitted.

"We are grateful that our nearly 500 student-athletes have had the opportunity to take the field with their respective teams and compete to start this academic year," noted USM Director of Athletics Al Bean. "As we continue to benefit from the outstanding support of our Husky fans and spectators at each of our competition arenas, we ask for your continued cooperation in our commitment to safety for an enjoyable and successful experience for all involved."

Schedules for all 22 of the Huskies' intercollegiate sport teams can be found online at southernmainehuskies.com
