Email sent on 10/20/21 from Athletics said "tickets will be shipping via UPS early next week". I can see in my UPS app the label has been created, but UPS has not received the package, so I would expect them sometime soon.
I don't believe they have specifically addressed basketball games, but I would assume yes. This was
the policy they linked to in the email prior to the open practice. Quoted the full text below.
Quote:
Beginning August 21, 2021, fans will be required to present a COVID-19 vaccination card (or a photo of your vaccination card) at the entrance to Loyola Soccer Park or Gentile Arena for games this fall. Individuals who are not fully vaccinated must provide proof of a negative test result from within 72 hours prior to game time.
Masks are now required at all Loyola volleyball matches at Gentile Arena and in all buildings on Loyola’s campuses. This applies to all students, faculty, staff and campus visitors, regardless of vaccination status.
If an individual is fully vaccinated, masks are not required for outdoor sporting events, but are encouraged when attending games at Loyola Soccer Park. If an individual is not vaccinated, but has provided proof of a negative test result with 72 hours prior to game time, masks are required at Loyola Soccer Park and across Loyola’s campuses.
Loyola faculty, staff and students can use the Loyola app to show proof of vaccination or test result to gain admission.
Children under 12 years of age will be admitted to athletics events without a vaccine or negative test, but are required to wear a mask (two years and younger excluded).
Fans should not attend competitions if they have tested positive or been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 within 14 days, if they’ve experienced any symptoms of COVID-19 within 48 hours of attending the event or if they have traveled to any foreign countries subject to travel or quarantine advisories.
