Thank you for your continued commitment to IUP athletics. We value your enthusiasm, interest and support of our student-athletes and our athletic program.

In response to concerns about COVID-19 cases, in order to protect the health and safety of our students, employees, and community, IUP has made a decision that no spectators will be permitted at IUP athletic events from Feb. 1 to Feb. 13.

This action also reflects our concern over the lack of spectator compliance to our masking mandate at indoor athletic events. Other universities in PaSSHE have taken similar action.

While we hope that spectators can return after this two-week pause, decisions will be made as a result of continued monitoring of the situation on campus. We will communicate updates to this decision as soon as information is finalized.

Tickets for any games missed during this time period will be valid for future games.

Live coverage of IUP games will continue, so please continue to cheer on the Crimson Hawks remotely with links found on our website - IUPathletics.com - and on our various social media pages. 

While we know this news is upsetting and disappointing, we also know that you want our student and employees to be safe and well. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
