Huskies teams had to power through in front of fan-free stands for a couple of weeks from January to February.
A spokesperson for the Huskies said there is no better feeling than having that crowd energy and vibe, on the court, the ice or the field.
USask chief athletics officer Shannon Chinn says teams had to fight through and get used to having very few people in the stands to watch games — or even none at all.
“Live games, the connection with the fans and community — there is no better feeling,” Chinn said. “It really means a lot to our athletic department and our players as well.”
Chinn added that fans can return to the stands “just in time for the playoffs — the most crucial time of the sporting season for our athletes.”
