The university said it is part of its plans to return to pre-coronavirus normalcy.

Starting June 23, just before the start of UCF’s Summer B term, the campus will remove physical distancing requirements and full participation will be allowed at UCF athletic and social events, according to a news release.

UCF has already lifted face-covering requirements on campus. The university clarified that fans could choose to wear a mask if they feel comfortable doing so.

The decision to update UCF guidelines follows guidance from the Florida Board of Governors, a news release states.

“We all anticipated a return to full capacity by fall, and this represents a vote of confidence in that plan and a notable step in that direction,” UCF vice president and director of athletics Terry Mohajir said in a news release.

The Bounce House can currently seat about 48,000, with plans to expand up to 65,000 seats.

UCF has sold 93% of available seats for the 2021 season, according to its athletics department. Knight fans can call 407-823-1000 for more information or click here.
