"This decision was made in partnership with public health authorities and peer institutions in the state to help keep our communities safe in the face of rising COVID case counts," the school said in a statement on Twitter. All guests in attendance five years and older will be required to wear face coverings, per direction from Lane County Public Health. 

The university also shared a letter to the fans, in which they go into deeper detail as far as their reasoning behind the decision and their work with local health leaders and state authorities.
