Iowa Shuts Down Workouts Amidst COVID Outbreak in Athletics Department:
The University of Iowa is pausing workouts for their athletic teams after the school reported 93 positive tests this week, increasing their positivity rate to 11.4%.
The university has reported 176 total positive tests since athletes returned to campus in June.
Last Friday, Iowa reported 500 new cases among students, bringing their total to 607 since August 23rd.
Iowa State AD: 25,000 Allowed for Week One:
Iowa State Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard announced yesterday that approximately 25,000 people will be able to attend the Cyclones’ week one football game versus Louisiana.
If their mitigation actions are successful, the Cyclones will allow all season ticket purchasers to attend the Oklahoma game Oct. 3. However, if the university determines that mitigation measures were not followed adequately at the first game, they will not have fans at future games (beginning with Oklahoma).
Pollard said there will be no tailgating on university property and face coverings will be mandatory at all home games — just some of the mitigation strategies moving forward.
The Cyclones first game is set for September 12th.
