re: Tiger stadium at 100% capacity

He won’t do anything. He has 4 weeks to use LSU and the saints as pawns. Threaten people to lose what we like so he can get the vaccinations up. But it’s over. Everyone who wants it has it by now. Let everyone go about their business. The state can’t afford to frick with LSU. Not just football either.

All of these numbers are projecting up and you want to pack 100,000 into a stadium in a state with 40% vaccinated with no restrictions or requirements at all?

---

Yes, because I’m not a moron

People have to go to stores to get food and other items, they don’t have to pack a stadium, especially with how things are trending

Cool. Thousands and thousands of people also touch unsanitized shopping carts, food items, self checkout kiosks, etc. in stores like Walmart and there’s no control of the flow of traffic, just thousands of people at a time wandering around aimlessly and getting within 6 feet of each other.

Not sure what you do in Tiger Stadium, but I walk in with the rest of the one-way foot traffic, walk to my seat without touching anything, sit with my family, and I get within 10 feet of MAYBE 50-100 people in 3 hours, especially if I don’t get concessions. I pass 50-100 people shoulder-to-shoulder within 5 minutes of being in a grocery store. If JBE is so concerned about maintaining order in the stadium, just shut down concessions. Problem largely solved in terms of foot traffic and congregation during the game.

There’s absolutely no consistency or logic being used by people like you. No one goes to Tiger Stadium to socialize with 100,000 people, they’re there to sit with their own group and generally keep to themselves, which is completely fine.

I don’t need to know what you believe to know that you’re a fearmongering bullshite artist who just wants to hear himself talk. I’m not sure what mental disorder you’d have to have to go along with “football = bad and unacceptable, Whole Foods/Walmart/Target/Gas Stations/Work = good and acceptable” but I’m personally tired of watching people like you parrot talking points that do nothing to improve the situation.

And just to give a numbers perspective as to why limiting football games would be an absolute joke of a political move, there are 4,500,000 residents in Louisiana. It’s safe to assume that 90% or more of those residents are going to work, getting groceries, getting gas, etc. on a daily basis and touching a bunch of shite and getting in other people’s space.

That would be 4,000,000 people moving around per day. And assuming that they only go to one gas station, grocery store, etc. per day, that’s 1,460,000,000 visits per year. shite ton of interactions and risk.

On the flip side, we have 6 home games at 100,000 capacity per home game. That’s 600,000 people per year. And let’s ignore the fact that there’s a much lower rate of interaction at an LSU football game then the other activities I mentioned for a minute for the sake of argument.

That’s a 0.04% increase in yearly activity in Louisiana if you’re being extremely liberal. If you adjusted for average distance between patrons at other activities, frequency of movement at other activities, people who would tailgate anyway without being allowed in the stadium, etc., it would be a ridiculously small increase.

So yea, I’m sure that the added 0.0001% of interactions in a population as large as Louisiana on a yearly basis would really put us over the top and have people dying in the streets. Grow the frick up

hospitalizations/deaths are back up to winter levels.

Cases and hospitalizations are up but deaths are not. The delta variant is not nearly as deadly. Mainly because of vaccinations.

It’s crazy to me that adults like this exist. Grasping for anything to justify them not getting vaccinated/ wearing masks/ social distancing/ caring about other people

there is no way in hell JBE allows 100% capacity without something

It’s almost like some of y’all hope this happens just to have something else to melt about

We can’t just say “well screw it I don’t want to do this anymore” because it would make everything that we’ve done to this point mean nothing.

No, we can absolutely do that. I'm not saying we necessarily should, but it is certainly an option.

I have no gain in this, im just caring for other people.

OK, what if the majority of "other people" decide they are done with this and don't need your concern or the intervention of the government in their daily lives?

And answer my question: how long are you willing to do this? A certain number of people will never get the vaccines. I think that's unreasonable, but you can't force them. What if that number is 30-40%? Are you willing to just have restrictions forever?
