Indiana State, Butler to limit crowd sizes

Indiana State University has announced it will only allow players’ family members and essential personnel to attend the Sycamores home basketball games through December.

The announcement comes less than a week after Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb detailed measures he’s implementing to curb a statewide increase in COVID-19 cases.

Butler University announced Sunday that the Marion County Department of Health approved a plan to use up to 25% of the Hinkle Fieldhouse capacity for the Bulldogs’ home opener Nov. 25. Fans will be required to wear face coverings, undergo temperature checks, be socially distanced and must use specified gates to enter or exit the facility.

Season tickets will not be sold this year, but season-ticket holders will have the first option to purchase tickets in blocks of two to four games.
