COVID-19 Spectator Policy [NEW for 2021]
Final details relating to spectator Information for the 2021 MAPL Raleigh will be provided closer to the event dates. Our Pandemic Operations Guide submittal, which was approvied by City officials, set spectator viewing at the equivalent of one spectator per participating athlete.
