May 20, 2021: The following is an update from the State of Michigan regarding COVID and its impact on Michigan Athletics event capacities for the 2021-22 season. Earlier today, Governor Whitmer made the following announcements: • Beginning Tuesday, June 1, all outdoor capacity limits will be removed, including at sporting events. Indoor settings will increase capacity from 30 percent to 50 percent. • Beginning July 1, all broad COVID restrictions will be lifted.
