Seton Hall Athletics issued a statement stating they are currently working with the Prudential Center to potentially host fans for their Mar. 3 game against the University of Connecticut.
"We have missed having our loyal fans in attendance at our games to provide the much-needed support to our student-athletes," the statement said.

Gov. Phil Murphy announced on Monday that a limited number of people will be allowed to attend professional and college sports games effective Mar. 1 at 6 a.m.
The immediate family members of players and coaches will be allowed to attend games immediately. However, players and coaches are limited to just two immediate family members per person to attend games. Face coverings and social distancing will be required, and those who buy tickets together will be able to sit together.
Seton Hall has allowed immediate family members to attend games since early February, but there have not been fans in attendance for a Seton Hall men’s or women’s basketball game since March of 2020.
Indoor venues with a 5,000-seating capacity or more will be allowed to have 10% capacity for the Seton Hall basketball beginning Mar. 1 at 6 a.m. Outdoor venues including minor league baseball can operate at 15% capacity beginning next week on Mar. 1 as well.
Seton Hall University and Seton Hall Athletics have not made any announcements regarding fan attendance at basketball games or other spring sporting events. The only game fans would be able to attend at the Prudential Center this season under the new rules would be against the University of Connecticut on Mar. 3.
