Riley County Commissioners, acting as the board of health Monday, went against the recommendation of the local health officer, and tentatively approved Local Health Order No. 18 with a modification to remove the 2,000 capacity limit. The order which takes effect Tuesday, and will be in place until rescinded or superseded, will essentially allow K-State to bring fans into Bill Snyder Family Stadium for football games this season. Commissioners were hesitant at first to agree, but ultimately were persuaded by Athletic Director Gene Taylor who stated the university’s mitigation plan is extensive and will help keep fans safe.
