I'm serious about this...Polancartz says one of the issues with having fans at Bills Stadium has to do with the rest rooms. I believe they can have a monitor for each bathroom in use to observe not only distancing, but tickets for each section shall only be allowed to use certain bathrooms. If you are in a particular section and your color code is orange, you can only use orange bathrooms, and so on. you show your stub or whatever ID corresponding for use of that bathroom to the attendant. FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A S*** AND YOU'RE A PURPLE CARD CARRIER, DON'T GO TO THE ORANGES!

RiotAct Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Plus, the restroom is the one place where I absolutely, positively would NOT want to take my mask (which protects you, not me) off!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) I will not belittle anyone's thoughts or concerns on the subject of attendance and safety at games, but I honestly think this can work and be safe. Even if you have to hire two people to work in each bathroom, one monitoring and one constantly disinfecting, it can work.

When entering the stadium and walking around you must wear a mask. When you are at your seat and social distance is safely in place then you can take your mask off. If you have to leave your seat to go to the bathroom or get something to eat/drink then put the mask back on. That is what I would enforce if I were Cuomo or whoever would be in charge. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now games are a forbidden fruit and people will be encouraged to travel to spots that have Covid less under control than New York. You can travel to these games and easily avoid the quarantine rule. As far as I know, the 24 hour quarantine exception still exists. The quarantine doesn’t apply if you have spent less than 24 hours in the state, that’s manageable whether you fly or drive. PR...man, even 10,000 to 12,000 fans (12K being a little more than 16%) would make a big difference and would mean a lot to the players, too. I don't have to be the one that goes. I am fine with not going, although it would be great. Somebody should be going, though, and I am OK even with an age limit.

LabattBlue Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The majority of the stadiums are allowing no fans. If it helps with minimizing the spread, I’m okay with no fans at RWS until next year. Not sure why some are so angry...if you can’t go, it’s not the end of the world. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you weren't specifically referencing me, but just to mention it, and I should have lead with it, I am fine and I GET why they are not letting fans in.

Where I am in NJ they are allowing indoor dining again. I believe NY is doing the same thing. Barber shops are open as well as other stores and shops. Obviously wearing a mask is important as well maintaining social distance as much as possible so nobody gets sick or worse. The NFL should have the rule in place that no fans are allowed at all stadiums. I believe McDermott was annoyed by this as well as it gives teams a competitive advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best was when the NFL said they don’t think it gives any competitive advantage. Ok... then explain to us why home teams win more than road teams 🙄 NFL logic.

I’m sure season ticket holders get priority. but I don’t think they should allow only season ticket holders. Away teams should be given an opportunity to go. So of 7k allowed. Maybe on 50% season ticket holders and 50% go up for sale allowing 3.5k for all others to buy a ticket.... There has to be guidance on this...

Utah John Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 After a few weeks of the season, it will be interesting if someone does a statistical analysis to see if having a limited number of fans in the stands provides an advantage to the home team. The study would have to control for how good the home team is in the first place, based on their road record. Otherwise it could be that really good teams are the ones that permit fans to attend, so we couldn't tell much about the benefit. I would guess that having 7K fans in a stadium built for 50K+ will be a small boost to the home team, but not nearly the same as a full stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
