McLane Stadium 2020 Media Information

This season’s McLane Stadium media operations will be altered in conjunction with the other Big 12 schools in order to provide a safe environment while covering Baylor Football.

  *   • The McLane Stadium press box will open three hours prior to kickoff.
  *   • Capacity in the press box will be reduced to 25% to ensure safe social distancing. We have fewer than 30 seats for media, so all outlets will be subject to reduced credential allotments.

  *   • All credentials and parking passes will be mailed in advance. If special arrangements to pick up on gameday are required, please contact Taylor Bryan.
