1st meeting between the schools.

I looked at JMU box score against VMI and there the stated attendance for that game was 6011 and my guess that will be similar for us this coming Sunday. the maximum attendance based on stadium capacity would be 6219.

That's 25%  now the limit is 50% so should be more.

The state of Virginia has upped their restrictions for large events, but from what I’ve read, it doesn’t go into effect until May 15th.  So they may still be capped at 25%, unless something changes this week.

Looks like Virginia has 30% capacity, so attendance may go up a bit.  Will be fun to see how we stack up against one of the better FCS programs.

I believe the NCAA's rule of 25% ofthe  seats is still in place for the 1/4er final round?

Nope, they raise it to 50% starting this week.  Virginia as a state, only allows 30% currently.  Either way, sounds like a Sunday night game at JMU will struggle to hit 30% as a lot of their attendance drives in for the game.  I’d guess their attendance will be around 6k, similar to their game against VMI,

All that winning has gotten boring.  Style points now required.
