FANS IN THE STANDS

[dslyank]

Cuomo announced this AM all indoor and outdoor stadiums and entertainment center allowed to open April 1 @ 20% capacity. Minimum 1500 seats outdoors and 2500 indooor [may have this backwards.]. This should mean Casey [football etc.] and Fallon should both qualify.

HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM UA TICKET SALES YET. Probably behind the 8ball as usual. Should have/had a program up and running in anticipation??

Anyone know or hear anything /

If they move Lacrosse to Casey; they could allow 1700 fans in [20% of 8500.] But why should UA, put themselves out a little for the FANS/DONORS/COMMUNITY.

Words chosen wisely,,,"spectators" but not "fans". I don't mean family can't be fans, but its not like regular alumni, community members, fans etc will be able to go unless you know the team/player that can put your name on a team list.

"Event attendance will be limited to guests of participating student-athletes and coaching staffs"

They seriously do not care about fans....unless they are sending in $. Another dropped ball by the AD. You can't figure out how to put 1000 fans into Casey safely, you really should look into another line of work.

Well stated observation, the policy instituted is similar to other colleges and universities in the State of New York.  I have concluded this is a step in the right direction however in the end it is up to all of us to everything to stop the spread and the recurring waves by the end of June 2021.  If not, watching football in Casey Stadium may end up being dream.  As reminder, if you are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, sign up for an appointment and roll up your sleeve.
