Massachusetts Reopening Is Great News For Boston College Athletics
On Monday, Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker announced that the commonwealth will officially fully reopen on May 29th. This news comes on the heals of President Joe Biden announced that he would drop the mask requirement for vaccinated individuals.
After Baker made the announcement, local Boston sports teams also began to clarify their stances. Gillette Stadium announced they would have allow full capacity at events at their facilities. That would include the New England Revolution who are currently in season. The Boston Red Sox also announced that they would reopen Fenway Park to full capacity on the 29th.
This is big news for Boston College. While all major athletic programs will have completed their home schedule by the 29th, this sets up the Eagles to have full capacity crowds come the fall, something the athletic department has striven for in recent conversations. This means that football could have a full stadium for the first time under new head coach Jeff Hafley when the Eagles take on Colgate in the season opener. The head coach has stated multiple times that he can not wait to have the team play in front of a crowd at Alumni Stadium.
Of course things can change between now and September, but today's news are a promising sign that we will all be able to return to a new normal sooner rather than later.
