COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland Athletics announced Wednesday a new initiative to offer two free tickets for a select home football game this fall to any faculty or staff member who receives a first or second vaccination dose between May 19 and June 30. The program supports a campus-wide effort to encourage vaccinations for every member of the campus community before the Fall 2021 academic semester.
"As we look forward to the safe return of students, faculty and staff at Maryland, getting vaccinated is a critical step in a return to normalcy here on campus," said Athletic Director Damon Evans. "With that in mind, Maryland Athletics is contributing to the efforts by providing extra incentive to get vaccinated. As a sign of appreciation for helping to create a safe campus environment, we are offering two tickets for a Terps football game this fall. Let's make
this happen together."
"Vaccinating all faculty, staff and students is the single most effective way we can keep our community healthy this forthcoming semester," said President Darryll J. Pines. "I would like to thank and commend Maryland Athletics for offering this incentive and for serving once again as an integral part of our University community."
On April 23, Chancellor Jay Perman mandated that all faculty, staff and students at University System of Maryland institutions, including UMD, be vaccinated prior to the beginning of the Fall 2021 academic semester. Read the entire mandate here.
To qualify for the free tickets, UMD employees must attest to vaccinations at return.umd.edu (on the daily symptom monitoring survey) between May 18 and June 30, and authorize UMD to verify results via the state's vaccine database. After June 30, all eligible employees will receive an email from Maryland Athletics detailing how to redeem the free tickets.
With Prince George's County lifting all capacity and distancing restrictions for indoor and outdoor sporting venues, Maryland Athletics will be welcoming fans back at 100 percent capacity to its sporting events, including football this coming fall at Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium.
This fall, the Maryland football team will play seven of its 12 games in College Park, marking the first time since 2011 that Maryland will play seven games on campus. Also for the first time since 2001, the Terps will play all of their non-conference games inside their home stadium.
Maryland, which will play four of its first five games at home, opens its 2021 slate against non-conference rival West Virginia on Sept. 4 before welcoming local foe Howard on Sept. 11. Maryland will host Kent State for its final non-conference game on Sept. 25 before returning to league play on Oct. 2 at home against Iowa.
The Terps will host Indiana on Oct. 30 and then welcome Penn State the following Saturday, Nov. 6, before taking on Michigan in its home finale on Nov. 20.
