Lexington County reclassifies Blowfish, allowing fans to attend games

LEXINGTON, S.C. — Today the Lexington County Council voted to reclassify the Lexington County Blowfish as an amateur youth sports team. This means the team can allow fans to attend games in a limited capacity for the remainder of the season.

This comes two weeks after the Blowfish had to turn fans away on opening day following an executive order from Governor Henry McMaster banning fans from sporting events across the state.

Lexington County Council unanimously passed this resolution, and fans will be allowed to attend Blowfish games starting Wednesday when the Lake Murray Purple Martins play at Lexington County Stadium.
