STEPHENVILLE – Tarleton Athletics has announced the policies and ticket information for basketball games at Wisdom Gym during the 2020-21 men’s and women’s basketball seasons.
Capacity inside Wisdom Gym is capped at 1,200 fans for all games. The capacity limitation follows Governor Greg Abbott’s Executive Order No. GA-28, which allows a maximum of 50 percent capacity at sporting events. Due to NCAA and WAC restrictions on fan proximity to the court, no fans can sit in the lower level this season. Only credentialed game day staff and personnel may enter the lower level of Wisdom Gym. All general admission and student seating will be in the upper level of Wisdom Gym.
“The health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans is the number one priority and this plan will ensure that protocols are in place to provide a safe environment for everyone,” said Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Lonn Reisman. “We are excited to welcome fans back to Wisdom Gym for our first year as a member of the WAC and NCAA Division I.”
All fans, staff and media are required to wear a face covering over the nose and mouth at all times, per Governor Abbott’s Executive Order No. GA-29. The WAC also requires that face coverings are worn by anyone attending a basketball game this season.
There are two entrances into Wisdom Gym this season. Fans can enter through the front and northwest doors. The northwest doors, across from Traditions South Residence Hall, will serve as an entrance for the public this season, in addition to the main entrance at the front of Wisdom Gym. The back doors by the concession stands can only be used by players, coaches, officials and designated staff members.
All student-athletes, fans, staff and personnel will be subject to temperature checks as they enter the gym. Anyone who displays a temperature of 100.4°F and over or show any signs or symptoms of COVID-19 will not be allowed entry to the facility. Enhanced cleaning and sanitization stations will be placed throughout Wisdom Gym.

Basketball Season Ticket holders will have their accounts frozen and control the rights to their seats for the following season. Texan Club issued general admission passes will be honored at all games. All individual game general admission tickets must be purchased in advance. No walk-up sales will be allowed this season.
