If approved, family members of men's basketball student-athletes and staff would be allowed to attend games at Fiserv Forum as early as Feb. 6.
The City of Milwaukee's new public health guidelines, announced on Tuesday, are effective beginning Friday, Feb. 5. The athletic department will also coordinate efforts with university officials to evaluate family attendance at other home events on campus, as well as the opportunity to welcome a pre-determined amount of fans based on facility capacity and location.
The only future men's basketball home game currently remaining on the schedule following Saturday's matchup with Creighton is March 6 against Xavier. The March contest will be National Marquette Day at home and Senior Day, honoring Jamal Cain, Theo John and Koby McEwen.
