[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 716678, member: 1776"] I think that statement largely tracks with what else we have seen in the last week. The biggest issue is simple, the budgets are so wrecked if there is no football that they are going to try everything possible to play. The biggest key is likely to be that there is no big spike in the late June/early July time frame. If that happens then I would expect that would really throw a wrench into things. Even if they play this season the revenue losses are going to be significant. if they can't have fans that is huge. Even if they can, the best case scenario is where you get to have 10-20% of your normal number. That is reportedly what the NFL is trying to work on behind the scenes - hoping to be able to get about 15K people in a stadium if it is safe enough to do so. The idea would be only season ticket holders would get to go to games and since there are more than those than seats that would be available in a game there would be a lottery and you would basically get tickets for handful of games. You also would not have any real say in where you sit. I would assume in college that at least some seats would be reserved for students. The first recommendation I would make though if they do play games and some fans are allowed would be no opposing team tickets. All seats in the stadium (in Bobby Dodd i'm betting the number wouldn't be higher than 10K, could be lower) would go to students and season ticket holders and there likely would have to be a lottery for those tickets for each game. I would think that season ticket holders would be guaranteed 2 or 3 games Obviously if you have no fans than you likely lose most of the revenue you receive from the advertising within the stadium since no one is there to see it. And with a reduced attendance you would have to reduce the contract amount. Finally, if we have an significant outbreak in the fall will that be it and it get shut down, I would understand that completely, but man that would stick, getting it going only to have to shut it down.
