Im kinda in the same boat. Im not afraid to the point Im locking myself in my house and not living. Being shoulder to shoulder packed in like sardines is a bit different.
Nobody required to go. Should have the right to choose. There are probably a few deep pockets who fear this scenario, as it might have a pretty big price tag to keep the "sellout streak" alive.Eek
I've got Ricketts fatigue. His pressers often sound like a parent telling kids to eat their veggies, or forget about going outside to play.
For season ticket renewals the deadline for payment of donation amount and ticket price was in March.
I've been told no refund but a credit for next year if something screwy happens
Thanks! I like my 99.98% chances, though...assuming I survive I-80 on the way there. That is bound to be a little crazy.
IMO the sellout streak will continue. If social distancing causes a max of 30,000 fans then the sellout is 30,000.
I really hope that is not how things shape up. The vulnerable or honestly frightened can stay home and watch/cheer. Its not like the restrooms and walkways will be socially distanced, anyway. Restaurants/ bars, probably not, either, I would guess.
How about this... people who think masks are necessary for them are free to wear them. They can protect themselves by wearing a mask or staying home. Or NOT wear a mask. If I am elderly, I can take my own risks, thanks. If I had elderly parents who wanted to go in September, I might advise against, but they can do what they want in a free country.
You're a good poster, most likely a good person and appear to be reasonably smart. I just can't, for the life of me, figure out why Americans can't get it through their thick skulls that the mask is not only for yourself, it's also for everyone around you.
Easy, yes, but this isn’t two months ago when screening consisted of taking temp and asking if you have been around anyone who recently returned from China. As you probably have heard on the news at least a dozen times a day, many — or most — infected individuals have no symptoms when they are contagious.
I appreciate that. I just read an article today that cited 17 different studies that were non-conclusive as to whether or not masks even help vs flu. Furthermore, there is no way, in Hades, that I would go to a Husker game if I thought my survival depended on everyone else wearing masks to protect me. I would never want to impose even that "burden" on others. If my situation is that tenuous, I will happily stay home, protect myself, and let others do their thing. I have a nephew with a severe peanut allergy. His parents absolutely appreciate help from others when possible, but they in no way expect everyone else in their life's sphere to be peanut-free. Not sure if that is a perfect example, or not.
The whole thing is really really dynamic. Heck a lot of "vulnerables" are the guys and gals that volunteer their time on game day to shuffle people in and around the stadium. I guess I would think if Moos and the regents practice social distancing they can't justify packing 90,000 people into the stadium. For me I wouldn't open concessions and I'd limit the number of people in a restroom all at once.
From a practical standpoint on the masks...good luck with people wearing masks in 90-100 degree heat. And how the heck do you eat a Husker dog with a mask? If we can have a regular season by all attendees bringing and "wearing" masks, to appease the State, then...whatever. Bring it on!
I don't think you can really expect people to wear masks. It was just a few short weeks ago CDC said the only people who need masks are the infected.
Not that easy. Many season ticket holders are elderly and have been coming to Memorial since the 40s. You can count my elders.
Exactly, this can be applied to many places, almost everywhere. This is why a "stay at home" was ordered. Nobody can depend on others to give a **** about the rest of humanity. Let the boys play, we'll watch it on TV and ***** in Du's threa .
Except that people pass this on while being asymptomatic. That has become more obvious as time has gone on, hence the change in stance on the use of masks. Now, does it eliminate the chance of spreading the virus? No, but it likely lessens it.
Same here....
I'm not sure you could have a game without concessions. First of all it's a huge revenue maker and secondly what are people going to drink? If you let people bring in their own water then you have to have extra security screening people.
