So when will the powers that be announce what the plans are for pre-season practice and for attendance restrictions (if any)? Seems to me like they would pretty much have to make these decisions by July 1.

I have no proof of this just a gut feeling, but I will not be surprised if The SEC does something like Iowa State already announced. That would put 30K in the stands at Davis Wade.

So how does Iowa State plan to restrict the fan attendance?

They had only sold 22k season tickets so they dont have the same issues.

How is State going to social distance the thousands standing at the metal detector at kickoff?

There are going to be tons of logistical problems to be dealt with. That is why I said they are going to have to make these decisions soon, in order to give the various schools time to do the gameday planning.

Wonder how they would plan on socially distancing those in club level seats? How do you chose which love box or who in the gridiron get to go to the game?

You would think some kind of announcement would be coming soon about SEC Media Days which would be held in mid July, likely going virtual on that?

Which scares me because Cohen wasn’t able to competently pull off a MSU Gameday Pre-Covid...every game had issues a SEC Program shouldn’t have.

Up until a couple years ago, ISU wouldn't have had to implement a plan- they could just allow everyone in and it still wouldn't have reached the 30k limit.

Serious, but ***, but kinda actually serious.

Probably the way they do everything else - Bulldog Club priority. But last I heard, there were fewer than 10,000 BDC members. After that, good question. Lottery?

The club level seats are a lot more defined than bleachers, but they're certainly not 6 feet apart. You'd probaby have to skip two seats for every one occupied, and stagger the rows. It would cut chairback capacity to about 1/3.
