This is a replacement for Louisville’s original 30% capacity plan to Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.Hearing the news on August 24, Beshear said he sought to see this capacity diminished and in meetings with Louisville, the two sides agreed 20%.The capacity number was also reached after talks with Western Kentucky University, which announced a capacity of 20% on Thursday, and the University of Kentucky, which has not yet announced a plan.
“NCAA’s 3 FBS systems have lately planned to play football in the Kentucky Commonwealth during the 2020 season.l It’s in everyone’s most productive interest to maintain so much consistency across all 3 systems,” Louisville said in its 30-page COVID-19.Operations plan.
