WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Prior to arriving on the UK campus, we encourage fall fans to check their temperature and conduct a health self-screening. Fans who have a temperature at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit are asked to stay home and isolate. Fans who have existing health complications and are therefore vulnerable are asked to proceed with the utmost caution and to consider staying home and isolating.

Face coverings, over the nose and mouth, are required for all fans as they enter, exit and move around athletic venues, as well as any time fans are unable to maintain the recommended physical distance from other fans not in their party/household.

Physical distancing measures have been put in place, including physically distance lines for concessions, bathrooms and other spots where lines generally form.

A significant number of sanitizing opportunities have been added.

UK Athletics staff will take additional measures to clean and sanitize, including high touch-point areas, which will be cleaned more frequently.

University of Kentucky Athletics seeks to provide the safest environment possible for all spectators, staff and participants.  A risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place, including sporting events at the University of Kentucky.  Fans with pre-existing health conditions or who are otherwise at risk should consider not attending on-campus sporting events during this unprecedented time.
