There aren't any games to go to, Copernicus.

Nope. WVU isn’t allowing fans and high school games in WV are limiting attendance to immediate family.

I don't believe any will occur, but if they do, then... maybe.  I'm not worried about 25,000 people outdoors in a 100,000-seat stadium.  Even if every yahoo attempts to bumrush the 50-yard-line, it'll be easy enough for me to stay well away from the masses.

The real problems I see are in restroom facilities which are pretty cramped and enclosed, concessions (which are unnecessary and avoidable), and mostly-- entrance and egress.  On a typical gameday, there are tightly packed lines to get into, and out of, the stadium.

I suppose I could get there two hours early to avoid the entry lines, and stay an hour late to avoid the exit line.  But now we're talking a 7-hour day inside the stadium.  Which makes it even harder to avoid the concessions and bathrooms...

The new Abbott test might change attendance, if it works and is spread about fast enough.

They have a 15 minute turnaround test apparently.  Imagine you go to a game and get there at a prescribed time to get tested first.  You wait 15 minutes and get your entry ticket validated and then attend as normal.

Concert, convention, game, whatever, it could change things.

Imagine being the 5-7% who test positive and instead of enjoying the game, have to be quarantined.  With such an expectation subversion, it might cause some ugly outbursts. 

If it's possible, you must do it, but it's not like there won't be hissy fits along the way.

Really?  Someone better tell the 60 or so programs that edited their schedules and are under the impression they're playing football in a week or so...

What is the data to suggest that 5-7% would test positive?

These would be folks who probably would be asymptomatic and normally not get tested.

Folks who seek testing usually have some reason to do so, known exposure, symptoms, etc., so testing positives are expected to be higher than rep pop.

This isn't a board where posters generally reside in the southeastern quadrant of the United States. 

There is an SEC board hiding around here somewhere that you perhaps ought to check out.

It must be so hard to be you.
