Football seats are protected UPDATE 6.1.20

[awd4cy]

I’ve renewed my tickets and plan to be in the stands if allowed.

I did as well a couple weeks ago. Just had a feeling with the way things were going we would have a season. Hope I make the cut.

I just can't imagine how 30k is statistically any less impactful at spreading a virus than 60k. Bathrooms, concessions, gates, etc are all going to have congestion.

The way I see it, have no capacity restrictions, just require everyone to have a mask. Will that be perfect? No. But thinking that 30k is safe certainly isn't either.

Were going to do whatever the state mandates. 50% seems to be the obvious route. If they allowed 61,500 Pollard would allow 61,500

if they could do it for college football in 1918, we can do it this season.

But in 2020 we got people that can't handle going to Costco for 20 minutes without starting **** because a business has rules so I don't see enforcing this being very possible.

 

[cygrads]

How would that not be the obvious way to do it?

Agree but until it came from an official source it was speculation.

I think it’s legit, but the Spanish flu was definitely much much deadlier.

The masks looked off and really white compared to the rest of the photo and pretty uniform. Perhaps they were all given a clean new mask as they entered?

Argent, it's a photo that's over a 100 years old. I don't think you need to go all CSI on it.

 

[cygrads]

Not at all different.

I do wonder how many games we could actually sell out this year if allowed. I doubt we would be able to sell out any game this year.

Agree, no sellouts - there are a lot of older fans that may not take the chance. I just renewed online and my wife is high risk so if she isn't comfortable she won't go in. As much as some people think the old folks don't bring much to the game we may see this season what we would miss.

My group was actually planning on increasing donation levels to get to better seats. So what happens if we move in to seats that are "protected" seats? We get the boot next year?

Yes, if the previous ticket holder calls dibs

Hmmm... may change our thinking on uping donor levels for a year.

I would assume that during seat pick, if a seat was season ticket held last year, you won't be able to pick it this year if that person didn't renew. Next year if not renewed, it would be pickable.

The picture was dug up by Tony Barnhart from a Georgia Tech game in 1918. It’s legit.

Didnt the virus spike in fall of 1918? Maybe not the best example to be following.

I'm going to call the ticket office to find out. They must have some kind of way to tell.

Ya but it’s crazy to think that a bunch of cadets that have been training in gas masks for four years would understand the purpose of face coverings. Preposterous really.

 

[aauummm]

The concessionaire's shirt is bright white also. I doubt if anyone would photoshop the shirt, no reason to. All of the whites are just over-exposed in the photo. So I think the photo is legit.

Please post what they have to say.

K, sure idk.

From the Tailgate Tour

if unable to purchase your season tickets for the 2020 season, you will be able to purchase your season tickets in 2021 and not lose your location

I would think in order to do this you would have to still pay your donation. What happens if you don't up your basketball tickets, does this apply to that too?

I would assume too for donation seats, but not all seats are donation levels.
