Gatherings of up to 10 people are allowed and people are allowed to attend indoor Church services. In stadium seating, no more than 10 people will be within any other person's social distancing zone. People don't have to go to the game if they don't want to and people can wear masks. Imo, people should be allowed to go to football games.

In NC that has been moved up to 25 except in Durham(Duke University). Durham has not relaxed or reopened anything yet like the rest of the state.

I also never said people would not be allowed to attend just we will not see a full stadium, at least not in the beginning. The real issue will be season ticket holders. To accommodate some standard of social distancing everyone will have to adjust even them. So people will need to get moved around. I have no idea how many season ticket holders UA has. But if only 50000 people will be allowed into the stadium for example I assume season ticket holders will get priority. Again what I was told suites should not be affected.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conflating the results of two different types of coronavirus tests, distorting several important metrics and providing the country with an inaccurate picture of the state of the pandemic. We’ve learned that the CDC is making, at best, a debilitating mistake: combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus. The upshot is that the government’s disease-fighting agency is overstating the country’s ability to test people who are sick with COVID-19. The agency confirmed to The Atlantic on Wednesday that it is mixing the results of viral and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons.

This is not merely a technical error. States have set quantitative guidelines for reopening their economies based on these flawed data points.

Several states—including Pennsylvania, the site of one of the country’s largest outbreaks, as well as Texas, Georgia, and Vermont—are blending the data in the same way. Virginia likewise mixed viral and antibody test results until last week, but it reversed course and the governor apologized for the practice after it was covered by the Richmond Times-Dispatch and The Atlantic. Maine similarly separated its data on Wednesday; Vermont authorities claimed they didn’t even know they were doing this.

The widespread use of the practice means that it remains difficult to know exactly how much the country’s ability to test people who are actively sick with COVID-19 has improved.

“The numbers have outstripped what I was expecting,” Jha said. “My sense is people are really surprised that we’ve moved as much as we have in such a short time period. I think we all expected a move and we all expected improvement, but the pace and size of that improvement has been a big surprise.”

The intermingling of viral and antibody tests suggests that some of those gains might be illusory. If even a third of the country’s gain in testing has come by expanding antibody tests, not viral tests, then its ability to detect an outbreak is much smaller than it seems. There is no way to ascertain how much of the recent increase in testing is from antibody tests until the most populous states in the country—among them Texas, Georgia, and Pennsylvania—show their residents everything in the data.

So CDC has inflated testing numbers and have been inaccurately reporting results along with a handful of states.
