I suspect all of the AD's are holding out hope for as long as possible that we will have football games with normal attendance (i.e. no spacing restrictions)

If/when that looks like that won't happen, I suspect the first step would maybe be to reach out to the season ticket holders and offer refunds if they don't want to attend this season. As surprising as it may sound, you're going to have a not so insignificant number of fans who voluntarily don't want to show (This board kind of skews perception sometimes. Including mine. But I was surprised recently to see just how many people are still scared to very hesitant to fully get back to normal)


That MAY be enough to reduce the crowd enough to all0w "social distancing". If not, they' probably start taking away tickets from the newer season ticket holders and move forward by reverse seniority

There is no optimal solution outside of proceeding as if this whole embarrassing episode never happen. But it is hard to imagine there won't be some push to at least enact some measure of mandatory "precaution" this season.

Couldn't they just tell everyone to "Enter at your own risk"? I don't think they need to make the decision for us.

If you have medical concerns about the virus, then do not attend a crowded game.

(Potential upside of intimidation factor with large "Enter at your own risk" signs at every gate )

I agree with Alt26. Everything is status quo for now, but in the background they’re making contingency plans. First is asking for volunteers to give up season tickets. Maybe a lottery to distribute tickets among season ticket holders.
I’m an older season ticket holder, and I hope we at least get a choice of games . If I’m limited to a couple games this season, I hope I get at least 1 good Conference opponent.
