Any news? I'm guessing no tailgate.....

since the last couple of recent events for music concerts at the Rock had full capacity attendance, I expect the same for Hurricane and Dolphins Football games and with fan friendly tailgates. There were no reports of the music events being COVID spreaders after the fact.
 
Are some places really still doing no tailgating and reduced attendance? I assumed everywhere would be back to normal on that.
 
Please. The school isn't going to go back to full in person classes, encourage everyone to go to Atlanta, share a stadium with an NFL team that will be allowing full tailgates and then be like "Well we're going to allow full attendance at Canes games but we have to draw the line at tailgating".

And this won't change short of there being a proven variant that completely evades the vaccines, hospitals fill with covid patients that were vaccinated and the entire country goes back to square one.

No orders will come down from the state obviously, but businesses themselves may make mandates. With 28k+ new cases each day over the past couple of days, it wouldn't be a surprise if masks get mandated by the stadium (for legal liability protection or public health concern).

I doubt that any other restrictions get implemented. The Hurricanes, Dolphins, and stadium have already lost so much money from last year.
 
Why would there not be tailgating? Don't see how they can mandate anything for the fans if their own employees/security etc. aren't vaccinated.
 
Yeah I got tickets to the Orange Blossom Classic at HR on Sept 5th. (FAMU vs Jackson State) and I havent seen any alerts about tailgating for that game either. Usually there is an alumni tailgate/Greek tailgate, etc announced but nothing yet. Hoping things change in the next 3 weeks though.

Actually, no. Hospitals are being filled with the UNvaccinated. The vaccinated make up a tiny percentage of the hospitalized.

Also, Florida is leading the nation in new Covid cases. If this continues or worsens, I wouldn't be surprised if new restrictions are imposed on attendance/tailgates. Of course, the Governor would push back on it.

When you accidentally combine daily totals together, yep, 28,000 a day. This is how fake news works.

Ackshully....I think you almost completely misinterpreted my point. THAT'S what I said- that this right now (and especially so in Florida) is a pandemic of the UNvaccinated.

Sooooo....my point of view is that UNLESS there's a variant that starts filling up hospitals and morgues with VACCINATED individuals that we won't see the blanket restrictions and limitations we saw last year. At most we'll see more and more public places asking for proof of vax.
 
I would bet heavy on no tailgating if the current trend continues. Limited capacity is also a strong possibility if the numbers keep going up.

So you think the Dolphins/the NFL is going to do that? Even with much of the rest of the country not looking anything like Florida or Texas right now on this front? And I only ask because UM isn't going to have a policy different than the Dolphins and Julio Frenk for every bit of a lib academic that he might be wasn't exactly a big shutdown proponent even in a pre-vax climate.
 
If the NFL or conferences don't mandate something across the board, then it'll be up to county and state. Ultimately, hot spot places should be discussed and likely will. Way above any thought I want to put into the matter as you would have to look at a lot of numbers info, etc.

If they do limited capacity at the last minute, how do they decide who gets to come and who doesnt re people with season tickets/individual tickets, etc? That seems too complex to decide one month out from the first home game.
 
There are more cases now than there were last year at this time when the stadium was at reduced capacity, higher hospitalization numbers as well. The deaths will likely exceed last years numbers in 1-2 weeks. It's literally the worst it's ever been here with little signs of slowing down.

Unless things start to decline they're going to have an interesting decision on their hands come September. With school starting up that seems unlikely.
