At most your will see stadiums with 25% capacity. That’s what nascar and some others are attempting for now

That could be possible. I'm sure the NCAA and other sports are looking at how Nascar pans out partial fan attendance. They had only 1,000 fans at the Homestead Dixie 400. The track has a 46,000 fan capacity. So, that was only 2% filled. They allowed 5,000 at Talladega which is 6% of its 80,000 capacity. Some of their venues will run with no fans at all.

NASCAR announces fans can return starting this weekend at Homestead-Miami

NASCAR will invite up to 1,000 service members as honorary guests for the race, the first time spectators have been allowed since the sport returned.

IDK how you decide who keeps their season tickets and who gets refunded? Those cheap upper deck seats are looking really good right now. I wonder if they would bump upper deck season ticket holders, then reassign some of the more expensive ticket holders to some of those seats giving them a partial refund for downgrading. This way they could charge more for the seats that are available. It will be interesting to see what Blake James decides to do if there is any fan attendance.

It would be great if the NCAA or Conferences stepped in and made a definitive decision on fan attendance. It shouldn't be left up to each school to decide. At minimum the conference should decide and any state or local government could decrease that number, but not increase it.

I have titans tickets and the nfl will operate differently but I was told they could wait as late as mid August before making a decision on fans.

Anyone posting about an increase in cases please be sure to post about deaths (declining) and survival rates (increasing). We all got played and we are continuing to he played.

Death rates are only appearing to be decreasing because they always lag- especially since the recent spikes are obviously due to the reopening. And who were the first people to get infected in the last month+? Usually younger/less vulnerable people that rushed to congregate on Memorial Day wknd and prior.

Wait for their obvious subsequent spread to kill Grandma and Uncle Dave with the Diabetes in the next few weeks before you parrot death rates right now.

This is all irrelevant though. We been played. This **** will all go away when the weather turns warm.

You should probably wait 2-4 before declaring victory. All the young and reckless will spread it to the weak and cautious.

Its been like that forever. We have a ton of people who just sit in parking lot and get drunk or party. Miami is all about party scene, doesnt matter the occasion. We have fans who if they even make it to seat would rather get black out drunk, stumble into stadium, Scream its great to be a miami hurricane, get on jumbotron and when they get carried out cant even tell you a single play or what happened during the game. Some bizarre ****. I wont even get into blue lot life..

Never understood it, but to each its own. Thats why university can put crap product on field for years, hold on to terrible coarches for an extra season or two and only be moved if someone draws national attention to the ineptitude of the people at the top

I've been a season ticket holder for over 40 years and I know exactly what you mean. I like to smoke and have a drink but my main reason for being there is to see play 1 to the last play and remember it.

Small sample size here but 45% of the STH who responded are considering opting out.
That's a higher number than I expected.

There are 38,000? season ticket holders. If 45% opt out there are 20,000 STH's remaining.

Some quick math will confirm the Dolphin's 15k social distance complying attendance.
After recruits, family, coaches, band, etc. maybe 10k of those will be available to us?

Looks like half of us here will not be happy.

More important is hospitalizations, which are ~13% of cases, down from ~18% three weeks ago.

Literally every single tangible metric points to a weakening (potency) virus. Pretty sure Italy saw evidence of this in studies not too long ago.

Yet.... you just simply won’t hear about it. It’s far more important to extend the fear another couple months for obvious reasons.

Two Italian doctors, Mango Mao performing to empty Tulsa arenas and cases among 25-34-year-olds surging in recent weeks to become the most infected age group (not the case at the start of the outbreak) is not "every single tangible metric point".

The positivity rate has gone from 4% to 10%.The hospitalization rate for new cases is lower. The average age is lower and the acuity of symptoms is lower.

There's no hard data to support the weakening virus theory over the more effective treatments theory, but that will be difficult to prove even after the fact. The doctors are more optimistic that it's weakening than we're just handling it better.

The way the hysteria is ramping back up, I just hope that we have college football to watch in the fall at this point

I'd disagree with the consensus you're positing in the last sentence about doctors being optimistic that it's weakening. At best I'd say they're hopeful but they were hopeful about seasonality too.

I absolutely hope I'm wrong but I'll still just point back to the initial infections post-reopening being largely among young people so that's temporarily making stats like mortality rates look like they're decreasing.

Lastly and purely anecdotal but I have access to info at one of Broward's largest health systems and have seen their Covid hospitalizations rates essentially double in the last 7-10 days.
