250 fans will be in attendance Saturday night, the maximum number allowed by the State of Minnesota due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tickets for the game went on sale Wednesday and sold out within 30 minutes.

The Granite City Lumberjacks have released the schedule for their upcoming season. The Lumberjacks will be playing their 14th season in 2020-21.
