WAVERLY, Iowa - Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and in order to create the safest environment possible for student-athletes and spectators, Wartburg College will begin its 2021 indoor sports seasons without the general public in attendance inside the Wartburg-Waverly Sports & Wellness Center, Wartburg Athletics announced Friday, December 18. 

Levick Arena
Two people per each participant (student-athlete/coach/staff member) will be permitted to attend basketball, volleyball, and wrestling home events inside Levick Arena. Seating for spectators will take place in the west bleachers across from the team benches. 

The same two people per participant rule also applies to indoor men's and women's tennis matches inside Hoover Fieldhouse.

There will not be a fee charged to attend the events.

Media members that wish to attend events need to contact Wartburg Sports Information Director: Trent Jackson (trent.jackson@wartburg.edu, 319-352-8208).

Hoover Fieldhouse
Due to the volume of participants and lack of adequately spaced viewing areas, NO SPECTATORS WILL BE PERMITTED for indoor track & field events.

"While we are excited to begin indoor competition in January, we regret that we must enact these attendance policies in order to create a safe environment for everyone," said Wartburg Director of Athletics Rick Willis. "We appreciate the support from our families and fans and look forward to the time we can all gather together again soon."

Knight Vision

In cooperation with local and state health officials, Wartburg will continue to monitor in-person attendance at Levick Arena and Hoover Fieldhouse. These policies are subject to change with the dynamics of the COVID-19 situation.
