[QUOTE="chris975d, post: 724900, member: 3766"] I haven’t read most of the more recent comments in this thread (been extremely busy with work during the pandemic), but i still think that fans in the stands at college football games has a high probability of not happening, mainly due to tailgating. Even if social distancing is enacted in the stadium, and you cut capacity down 50% (say from 60,000 down to 30,000), a lot of those people are still going to gather pre and post game in large groups. Tailgating isn’t that big of a deal with our/GT games, but it’s a huge part of more active fan bases, SEC schools, Clemson, FSU, etc. Ever been near Athens or Clemson on gameday? The tailgate groups are huge, and everywhere. Social distancing inside the stadium doesn’t do much good if the people are piling up together before and after outside the stadium. One of the larger tailgates at UGA, put on by Coca Cola, has already been cancelled for the upcoming season, and Coke is reducing their presence and involvement with college athletics from what I hear through my sales reps.
