MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- There will be no fans in the stands for home men's and women's basketball games at Marquette, at least for the rest of the year, due to health and safety concerns related to the spread of COVID-19.

The university says ticket members for both programs will get further information from the ticket office on donation and refund options.

"Unfortunately, given the current conditions relative to the pandemic, and after evaluating various scenarios, we have reached the conclusion that we will not be able to accommodate season tickets for the 2020-21 men's and women's basketball seasons," Vice President and Director of Athletics Bill Scholl said.

"Further, it is unlikely we will be able to host fans at games for the remainder of this calendar year. We will continue to evaluate our options and be in touch with any individual game ticket opportunities in the new year if circumstances allow," he added.
