Q2 Stadium Will Run At Full Capacity For First MLS Match In June

AUSTIN, TX — Q2 Stadium will run at full capacity for Austin FC's first home opener versus the San Jose Earthquakes on June 19, officials announced Monday.

Austin Public Health confirmed Monday the stadium may operate at full capacity for Austin FC's home opener and for the U.S. Women's National Team's game against Nigeria on June 16.

Officials said all events scheduled for Q2 Stadium, including those scheduled beyond June, will operate under APH’s updated attendance guidelines.

“Austin has been looking forward to the opening of Q2 Stadium since Austin FC launched in 2019. Today’s announcement is representative of a remarkable community-wide commitment to public health, which will now allow supporters the opportunity to safely participate in a series of historic Q2 Stadium events across the month of June and beyond,” said Andy Loughnane, Austin FC President. “This is a milestone announcement for our community, our staff, and our players, all of whom will work tirelessly to create a world class experience at Q2 Stadium.”

Austin-Travis County Interim Health Authority Dr. Mark Escott said the community's effort over the past 15 months has made it safe to host large events in the Austin area.

“We still have a final push to reach the imminent goal of herd immunity and ask everyone to get vaccinated before school lets out in June," Escott said. "We want to thank Q2 Stadium for their efforts in promoting the importance of getting fully vaccinated.”

As a result of Monday's announcement, Austin FC Season Ticket Members will receive information soon on how to properly access tickets for the 2021 MLS regular season matches played at Q2 Stadium.

Austin FC Oak Collective Waitlist Members will also be informed about their opportunity to purchase single-match tickets. General ticket purchasers can find outmore details about the opportunity to purchase tickets to Austin FC’s MLS matches here.
