[QUOTE="Techster, post: 724984, member: 360"] Something no one really talks about when it comes to Sweden: Their population is "only" around 10 million. That's about the size of a more dense New York City (8.4+ million). Sweden has a total land mass of 173,000+ sq miles. Their population density 64/sq mile. New York has a total land mass of 302+ sq miles. (Look at that number again.) NYC population density is 27,000+/sq mile. As horrible as Sweden is doing with their strategy, now apply their strategy to the United states with population of 300+ million, most of which are clustered in large population dense cities. Which brings me to this: As [USER=3766]@chris975d[/USER] points out, on game days, every college campus becomes a small dense city unto themselves. Bars and restaurants get packed, campuses gets packed, and stadiums are packed. Whatever the stadium holds, you can probably double or triple that with all the people come to college towns. Even though schools will probably limit stadium capacity, how do you limit fans from coming and tailgating and packing bars? How do you limit fans from coming from other schools and partying? It's easy to say they can control capacity in the stadium, but how do you control capacity of restaurant and bars around the campus? How do you control college kids throwing parties and tailgaters congregating together? The more you think about sports this Fall, especially in a college environment without the systematic rules that pro leagues are making their teams follow, the it's hard to fathom college sports being played unless colleges and administrators are willingly ignoring the fallout that could occur.
