Fans Will Be Permitted At Games This Season

Huntington, W.Va. - With the help of university, state, local and Conference USA officials, Marshall Athletics and the Big Green Scholarship Foundation has developed a plan to welcome fans for 2020-21 Men's Basketball home games that will be played in the Henderson Center this season.
 
This plan will use various health & safety guidelines to ensure a safe atmosphere for student-athletes, fans and staff attending the games while maximizing fan attendance.
 
Per Conference USA regulations, the Henderson Center will operate at 15% of normal arena capacity this season, which will equate to approximately 1,300 fans each of the 15 scheduled home games. "We are excited to be able to provide an opportunity for Herd fans to attend games this season," said Mike Hamrick, Director of Athletics. "With the help of Marshall University and local officials, we believe we have come up with a plan to safely put fans in our arena while maintaining social distancing and proper safety protocols."
 
University, state and/or local health officials, in response to local health conditions, reserves the right to alter Henderson Center attendance capacity at any point during the season. Any changes will be communicated to Marshall fans via email, social media, and HerdZone.com.
 
Ticket Information
Due to the limited capacity in the Henderson Center and the fluidity of the schedule, season tickets will not be available this year.
 
Instead, a game-by-game ticket lottery will be employed for the 2020-21 season.  The objective of the ticket lottery is to seat as many 2019 Season Tickets Holders and 2020 Big Green members, while rewarding both their longevity and recent support.
 
All 2019 Season Ticket Holders will have the ability to "opt-in" to the ticket lottery for a chance to receive tickets to a game during the 2020-21 season.
 
Due to the limited availability of tickets and the demand from those wishing to attend games this season, only 2019 Season Ticket Holders AND current (2020) Big Green members will be eligible for the lottery.
 
Season Ticket Holders will have until next Wednesday, November 18th at 4:00 p.m. to opt-in to the ticket lottery, by accessing their account on herdzone.com.  Once inside their account, patrons will click on season renewals tab, and then fill out the correct application to opt-in to the lottery.

Those opting in the lottery are encouraged to "bookmark" this page, as it will be updated throughout the 2020-21 season.
