The Concordia Department of Athletics has announced updates to the spectator policy specific for future home events set to take place at Cardinal Stadium. The decisions by Concordia were made primarily for the safety and well-being of all attendees, including student-athletes, officials, staff and spectators. Decisions were guided by the Michigan Department of Health, local health officials and the CDC.

The sports included for this announcement pertain to men's soccer, women's soccer, men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse and football. Due to the 50% capacity limit per the Michigan Department of Health and Human services, only essential staff, team personal and players/coaches families will be permitted to attend.
