BOSTON – With the health and well-being of students and staff remaining the highest priority, effective immediately, spectators will not be permitted at Suffolk University Athletics home contests through the end of January 2022. At that time, the spectator policy will be reevaluated. 

The change in the spectator policy comes as a precaution against the increase in COVID cases throughout the city, state and region.  

The spectator policy applies to on-campus venues including, but not limited to, Larry E. and Michael S. Smith Court, home of Suffolk basketball, as well as off-campus locations in the men's ice hockey home rink, Emmons Horrigan O'Neil Memorial Rink, and the women's hockey arena, Louis E. Porrazzo Memorial Skating Rink. 

Although spectators will not be allowed to attend games in person, Suffolk Athletics is committed to live-streaming as many home contests as possible to allow members of Ram Nation and its opponents the ability to watch the blue-and-gold for free online. Fans are also encouraged to follow live statistics through GoSuffolkRams.com and follow Suffolk Athletics on social media on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. 

Suffolk Athletics will continue to work with campus health officials as the semester progresses and will provide an update regarding spectator attendance when the information becomes available.
