Though the new state rules take effect Wednesday, LSU will not immediately increase Alex Box Stadium to 50% capacity. It plans to accommodate more fans in the coming weeks after gauging the interest of season-ticket holders and rearranging seats to maintain physical distance between groups, pending approval from the Fire Marshal.

Just read this quote from an advocate article that I thought was interesting. Shouldn’t they have had a plan for this months ago? I’m not a Woodward hater, but I just wonder how the athletic department is so unprepared for this considering we all knew this would be the next step and it would be coming soon

Yes! Woodward is a political hack. He is Ponamski with table manners.

It sounds to me like they already have a plan in place but it has to be approved by the state fire marshal. Knowing how the state fire marshal works as long as they throw enough money at it this can be done quickly.

This is such a weird thing to bitch and complain about.

There is a whole lot that goes into setting up a game day. The amount of concession items, concession workers, other staff. Then throw Covid on top with the physical distancing shite, and they have to space seats out to make it all work.

This isn't just a snap your fingers, sell more tickets situation, and it be done. I'm sure they will have it at 50% capacity soon.

The better question is, will it even be at 50% capacity whenever they are ready for it anyway?

The governor is making these decisions by the seat of his pants, with no warning and no pattern. My guess is a move to 50% caught them off guard. I was surprised when I heard it.

Also, keep in mind, more fans means more security, more concessions, more everything. These things take a bit to scale up.

Its indicative of the schools plan as a whole. Be unprepared, and make horrible decisions when the time comes

If they're not ready for this, they better start getting ready for 100% capacity a month from now.
