Here is an email reply I got from Jason Donnelly:
Thank you for the note and all your support. With regards to your question, the university has developed a health and safety matrix that is available on the Furman Focused website which is updated weekly.

We are currently in the “Orange: High Precautions phase” which means access to campus is restricted and most events and activities are cancelled. We are fortunate with athletics to be able to operate in Phase 2 based on the amount of testing and safety precautions we are taking with our student-athletes and athletics staff. We will need to operate in the Yellow Phase in order to be able to host students at games and/or ticket holders on campus.
Also at the present time, tailgating is not permitted until health and safety conditions improve in Greenville. This was noted in the release. The decision to allow tailgating will also be based on the health and safety matrix that I referred to above that determines the level of activities that our campus is permitted to engage in.
One more thought – I know that you represent our die-hard fans and hope you will share this information with them. I would be happy to set up a Zoom call to discuss things with everyone and keep them informed. Please let me know if this is something we can schedule at some point next week? I’ve copied Sue Eckstein from our staff who would be happy to set this up. Please let us know?
Let me know if there is interest in a Zoom call with the AD and I'll arrange it. I'll set up a poll for your replies.
