Press Release

WINONA LAKE – Grace’s athletic department has unveiled its spectator policy for the 2020-21 basketball season. The decisions by Grace College were made primarily for the safety and well-being of all attendees, including student-athletes, officials, staff and spectators.

Lancer fans wanting to attend an away game should verify the fan attendance policy on the Crossroads League’s website prior to traveling.

Grace’s home basketball games will be streamed online (HD) free of charge online at www.gclancers.com/live.

WHO CAN ATTEND HOME GAMES AT GRACE

Grace’s student-athletes (basketball, cheer) will be given a small allotment of tickets which can be distributed to family members.

Grace will also make a portion of tickets available for Grace College students and employees. These tickets will be free and available on a first-come, first-serve basis online at www.gclancers.com/tickets. Once the maximum allowance of tickets for a particular game are reserved, the game will be deemed “sold out” online.

Grace will not allow fans from visiting schools or members of the general public to attend basketball contests at Grace unless they are on the student-athlete’s pass list.

Attendees must register for an electronic ticket in advance of the contest. Tickets can be printed at home or scanned from a mobile device at the gate. No one will be permitted to attend without either a valid ticket or appearing on the pass list.

For those on the student-athlete pass list, ID must be presented to verify each attendee’s identity.

COVID-19 POLICIES FOR SPECTATORS

All spectators are required to wear a mask and practice social distancing at all times while attending Grace home games. The only groups allowed to sit together are immediate family members who must identify themselves upon arrival at the main entrance.

Spectators who are experiencing any COVID symptoms or who have been exposed to someone who tested positive within the previous 14 days should not come to the game.

Following the contest, all spectators will need to immediately leave the arena to avoid interactions with team members and other spectators.

Concessions will not be available. No outside food or drink will be permitted inside the Manahan Orthopaedic Capital Center.

Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the posted game time.
