The way covid has been trending nationally, rare hospitalizations on campuses, etc., I optimistically predict 50% attendance allowed late in season, hopefully more.

Sure I would love to have a full stadium, but at this point I can live with 25% for one season if it helps..

I think it will hold constant with uncertainty. Game day at home is how I roll.

Yeah by the time the weather starts to cool off and we head into cold / flu season I’m sure COVID will be completely gone!

Well if you get it, you get sent home to isolate. Flu will make it seem worse because everything now will be CoVID

I think it needs to be wrapped up ASAP
It's coming back in November most likely
I don't think the Big 10 Pac 12 ever get started

They may bump it up but with no tailgating, hunting season in full swing, and if the SJW stuff doesn’t cool off by then I don’t see 50% showing up.

You must not fully grasp how campus cases from students can spill over into the community and result in more hospitalizations of non-students. Actually, you probably don’t grasp a lot.

I don't think so just because of the inertia that would have to be overcome in order to do so.

You don’t think it will be greater than 50% for the Iron Bowl?

I'm not sure the ticket offices could do it logistically. This has been a pretty big cluster so far (at UA anyway).

I heard someone say it would just magically disappear about 180,000 deaths ago.

Then again, we now know that same person is on tape stating that he intentionally downplayed the severity of the COVID situation and still does, so he might not be the most trustworthy source.

It should be 100% and should have started last weekend.

We are allowed to tailgate. It's discouraged, but allowed.

A&M is doing their seat selection this week, and, if that was all they had to do (reseat the folks who opted to participate in the 25% configuration), I suppose they might be able to reaseat the stadium, again, if they had a couple of weeks to do it--at least it would be logistically possible. But, if they had to go back to all season ticket holders (including those who originally opted out) and give them a chance to opt in to an expanded reseating, I'm not sure that could be done. If there were to be an in-season increase, at A&M, I think most of it would probably be in the form of additional student seating.
