More Bills Seek to Increase Attendance at NC School Events More North Carolina state legislators are trying to get more spectators at school sporting events or college graduations this spring that are beyond what Gov. Roy Cooper’s COVID-19 recent executive order allows. The House voted on Wednesday for two bills that attempt to raise the capacity of venues from Cooper’s 30% limit to as high as 50%. One bill would apply statewide to indoor and outdoor events put on by public and private schools, community colleges and University of North Carolina system campuses. These venues would have the option to host crowds from no less than 30% of capacity to no more than 50%.
