An MU spokesman said he anticipates fans will be allowed to attend with no more than 25% capacity. The Tigers will begin spring practices on Feb. 26.

MU did not have a spring game last year due to COVID-19 concerns. The Tigers are coming off of a 5-5 season under first year head coach Eli Drinkwitz. The Tigers were selected to play Iowa in the Music City Bowl, but the game was canceled due to COVID-19 issues.

It's unclear what spring football games will look like across the SEC this year. Earlier this week - Florida AD Scott Stricklin announced, "hosting fans for an intra-squad spring football scrimmage seems unwise given all circumstances, including the fact that Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is being used as a large scale COVID testing and vaccination site."
