Gov. Roy Cooper said venues that seat at least 10,000 people can begin operating at 7 percent capacity on Oct. 2, which is when his current executive order on coronavirus pandemic restrictions expires.
According to Pack Pride, with Carter-Finley Stadium’s maximum capacity currently set at 57,583, that would allow for 4,031 fans to be permitted inside for games.
According to WRAL: The 7 percent limit would allow 5,278 fans at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, 3,570 fans at Kenan Stadium at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and 2,800 fans at Duke University’s Wallace Wade Stadium.
For concerts, 1,442 people could attend at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek.
Compared to other states, Gov. Cooper is doing fans no favors. Of states that are allowing fans, Governor Cooper’s 7% order appears to be near the lowest.
