UCLA Senior night – no spectators

Like many other Universities, UCLA is taking steps to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

This means Regionals on April 2ndΒ will not allow spectators.

Tickets for the competition March 14th will be refunded. Sadly some fans have booked travel already.

An abundance of caution. Smart.

It’s disappointing for the seniors who will be honoured, of course.
