            “This is not a normal season, but we’re excited to have games again and fans in the stands,” said LCPS Athletic Director Ernie Viramontes. “We are asking LCPS families for their patience as we continue to work through the logistics following the latest public health order. If we all work together to follow all the guidelines and protocols, we will have a better chance to continue to play these games”

Here is a breakdown of the percentage of spectators allowed to attend games under the COVID-19 health guidelines from the Governor’s color-coded system of infection rates for counties in New Mexico:

Turquoise Counties:

  • Up to 75% capacity of an outdoor spectator area
  • Up to 33% capacity of an indoor spectator area

Green Counties:

  • Up to 50% capacity of an outdoor spectator area
  • Up to 25% capacity of an indoor spectator area

Yellow Counties:

  • Up to 25% capacity for an outdoor spectator area
  • No spectators for an indoor spectator area

Red Counties:

  • Games go on
  • No spectators allowed

In every case, the host team’s county color governs the spectator capacity.

Livestreamed games: Both the Centennial/Oñate game on Friday night and the Cruces/Mayfield game Saturday afternoon will be livestreamed. Soccer games on Saturday will also be streamed at www.livestream.com/lcpstv.
