West Virginia University and Eastern Kentucky will kick off the college football season at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown without fans, the athletic department released in a statement on Thursday.
The continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic played in the decision.
Only essential game operations personnel and family members of players and the football staff will be allowed to attend.
A decision will be made on how many fans will be permitted for Big 12 home league games. WVU will host Baylor on Oct. 3.
In the coming days, 2020 season ticket purchasers will be receiving information from the Mountaineer Athletic Club and the Mountaineer Ticket Office on options for allocating their season ticket investment for any remaining home games with spectators.
Football season ticket holders from 2019 will maintain ticket priority for 2021, regardless of their purchase status in 2020.
Ticket for the EKU game has not been determined.
