There’s so much talk about safety protocols without mentioning actual scientific evidence. The virus is basically nuked by the sun and infection only spreads indoors mostly.

So why aren’t we talking about moving the games outdoors? Then we could still have a packed stadium of fans no problem, and much less worry about the virus

When they inevitably play with no fans this would actually be kinda cool. Cooler environment than a cavernous and empty Dome.

Noon games in Louisiana sunshine are miserable, just ask any LSU fan who’s ever been to an 11:00am kickoff in September

It can be one or the other, but not both.

Yea, that's not true at all.

Teams with outdoor venues are following the CDC & their State Dept health recommendations and preparing for games without fans in the stands as well as games with a fraction of the fans in attendance.

I’d rather the Saints cancel or forfeit their home games than play at LSU.

The thought of them playing at Tulane’s little high school shoebox stadium made me laugh so hard I peed a little.

Since Tiger Stadium has a significantly larger seating capacity than the dome has, they could run with the same number of tickets sold for games in the dome, thereby giving folks the option of spreading out in the stands.

That and lots of fans just chose to stay home the last time that they tried playing in BR, so that would add to the ability to spread folks out.

Hell no. Took years to get the bad karma out of Tiger Stadium the last time they used it. Let the Saints move to Mexico.

What make you think the BR parishes would want to deal with 2 loud games 2 times a week?
