As we get closer to the start of the college football season, plans for gameday atmospheres around the country and beginning to come out. That includes Duke, which has announced that it will not have spectators at its fall sports games, but fan cutouts, which have become commonplace in Major League Baseball, will be present.

“To be sure, our venues will not be the same without our passionate, energetic fan base,” Vice President and Director of Athletics Kevin White said in a release. “Given the unique and challenging circumstances, this determination was reached with the health and safety of our fans, student-athletes, coaches and staff at the forefront. As this evolving process continues, it is imperative to be both adaptable and compliant in anticipation of hosting fans in the near future.”

The only people allowed in the stadium will be essential game management personnel and broadcast media. Traditional parking lots used by fans on game day will be closed.

Duke announced that fans can support the team at Wallace Wade Stadium with a “fan cutout” of an individual(s) or pet(s). Several different packages are available and include stadium location options, weekly prize drawings and the ability to have the cutout autographed by head coach David Cutcliffe.

The Blue Devils said that images placed in the seats will help replicate the game day atmosphere in the stadium as well as provide an enhanced visual presence for the television audience. Proceeds from sales will go directly to Duke Athletics to support student-athletes.
