Fans in Stadiums Tracker

for the thousandth time: we will play a full season, with fans in stands, and likely without restrictions in many places.

Be pretty hard to argue for social distancing and crowd size control now.

unless there's a tidal wave of dangerous infections next week in every city (doubtful), you're correct.

A tragic testing of the waters...

This seems backwards. Wouldn't fewer fans in stands mean more TV viewers?

It was reported as a possibility straight from Moos. Probably won't get clarification until later.

"There’s also the question of TV money. Nebraska collected $36 million from televised football games last season. But Moos said that could drop in 2020.

“And if television isn’t getting the inventory, you can’t expect to get a full paycheck there,” Moos said. “And multimedia rights people are depending on those crowd sizes. There’s an argument that more people are watching the games on TV than they normally were because they can’t get in the stadium. I’m speculating there, but these are topics that are being looked at daily.”"

If you don't see a big spike in positive COVID tests in the next two weeks, you are going to see a lot of AD's announcing full stadiums very soon.

Was thinking that too.. I don't think there was a big Ozark spike after all those pics came out... Herpes maybe but not COVID.. I teach and every option being presented for the fall sucks. I am to the point of let them all come back and let the chips fall where they may

Its been reported that Arizona, Texas and Oregon are leading the way with new spikes, but those were appearing right as re-opening was occuring. So we still have that 2 week window to see which way they among others goes.

Yah none of the fall options are good. I imagine as a practical matter many folks will just hold their kids out of school if they are worried about it.

42% of all US covid deaths have occurred in nursing homes, or 46k of the 109k as of today.

outside of NYC, that number is 52%, or 41k of the 79k. (source)

this is good news. there are certainly people who should be afraid of the virus come fall. those people are not college students/student-athletes, nor are they the overwhelming percentage (99.4%) of fans.

if you want to keep using months-old data to drive your decisions, go ahead. I'm glad administrators won't be doing so.

The three states I mentioned are within the last 24 hours.

In any case, i'm not making a case we can't have sports in the fall.

Its also on Fox and other outlets.

The whole point was, one poster said something about what do we get if we do/don't see spikes. We should see. Texas appears to be moving ahead anyway. good sign.
