Michigan other locations not looking so good. Especially with regards to fans being allowed in. Without fans, it won’t be the same.
Do contact sports go away? Asking for a friend.

no one knows. i promise you that no one knows right now.

if you want an opinion, then........the answer for me is: games with no fans at the most.

Football without a doubt.

Fans? It depends I guess. But Im not sure the Big Blue is going to get in the way if everyone shows up.

Go support your team, why wouldnt you?
If the hospitals and medical staffs arent overwhelmed, why wouldnt you live your life?
Not going to a beloved LSU home game with your friends and families because of a .003 chance.

Football season is 107 days away. The China virus shutdown was 68 days ago and things are starting to open up again. Yes we have football with fans in the stands

They’ll have football but I doubt with full crowds

I saw Ohio St said they are thinking about only letting 20k fans in to still social distance while not having the stadium completely empty

Football with less fans. Then crossing fingers that the China virus does not come around for a repeat.

It’s naive to think stadiums will be at capacity.

Assuming there’s no huge second or third wave, I do think we wind up having football in the fall BUT with restrictions. Stadiums will be maybe 25-50% full at best with regulations plus many people just not wanting to chance it around thousands of people for something they could watch on tv.

You seem super sensitive around people wondering about fans at the stadium. I'd be happy all considered with 3 ft between (social distance in half) to get 50k or so in most big stadiums. Obviously would love 100% capacity if we could get there.

We have a lot of dumb people running this country, including someone in your state

It's impossible to know at this point what will happen with fall college football. What I can say is that I 100% agree with Jim Harbaugh that if the option is no football at all or football without fans in the stadium, it's a no-brainer that you take football, no fans. 25,000,000 people watched LSU beat Clemson on TV. Roughly 100,000 watched from the stands. That's 99.6% who caught the game on TV.

For the country to restore some sense of normalcy and relieve even a little bit of the depression this pandemic has wrought in so many ways, I say play in the fall with no fans. Only caveat is that it has to be done in such a way as to maximize the safety of the players, coaches, officials, etc. Geaux Tigers.

Damnit. I hate Harbaugh, then miniscually like him for a few minutes. Every year. As long as there isn't a spike, my gut feeling says at least 50% full (if not more) with the possibility there could be a few spots in the country that's more

At the start of the season there will likely be fans but at reduced capacity.
When cold weather hits it's anyone's guess.
When a player or coach tests positive, it's anyone's guess.
If there is an outbreak within any conference team's locale then all bets are off.

What about the first alteration between someone refusing to wear a mask?

Nobody really knows.

If we can’t even vote for the President of the United States in person we aren’t gonna have fans, maybe not even football. Many if not most universities won’t be opening in the fall.
I’m hopeful that soon, people from both sides of the aisle can come together and say BULLSCHIFFT, enough is enough. If you want to stay at home “just do it”, if you don’t, let’s roll! We coming baws!
Maybe Biden will come out of the basement for this.

Hey dick head if you want to start dragging politics in the Democrats and all that s*** into this go to the political board

but now that you brought it up most of those universities cannot afford to lose millions and millions of dollars on Lost revenue from having no fans in the stands it will sort of speak Trump that gash governor in Michigan

Facing reality is not being negative. Get your head out of your a** and look at what is happening around you. We can have football but we can’t have classes. Restaurants and bars can’t open, neither can churches. What’s negative about wanting our country to come together and stand up and deal with it like men. Women will follow. Men need to lead and stop being cucks! I’m embarrassed for them!
