Is the Winter blast still on? If so, how can it be that there will be food and frolicking in the activity center before the game, then we will go to Calihan for the game where there will be no concessions, no lower bowl seating, and presumably a mask requirement? Seems strange?

Seems strange? It’s definitely still on. Not sure what social distancing protocols will be required or encouraged at that event. Some of that is likely still TBD and may depend on how Covid is going. FWIW, when I went to the Cleveland State game a couple weeks ago their concessions were fully operative. At Calihan, UDM students (who usually staff the concession stands) are still off campus, i’m guessing that might be a factor.

I did hear today that in the event the basketball game gets cancelled, the other elements of the Titan Winter Blast will continue as planned.
