Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

The biggest problem is how to treat positive tests. Say it's Wednesday before OSU Michigan and a couple OSU players test positive. Cancel the game?

You actually think Buckeye Fans can maintain 6' rules after Keggs and Eggs/Tailgating.You'd have better results herding cats

At MSU that's just a November game against Maryland

Checkerboard seating should be the plan.  I guess three seat separation is about 6 feet?  How many rows have to be skipped?  One or two?

I presume many attendees are not single persons, so they could be grouped by group.  The student population, well there I don't know as they would be grouped closely together at school frequently.

I think I should wait, my guesses likely will be wrong anyway.  As noted, by August, "things" may be rather different.

I recall in late March going to Kroger and the place was almost stripped by panic buying.  I had been there two days before and things were "OK".  I started worrying about the food distribution system just failing, it didn't obviously.

If I could have been promised the situation of TODAY on March 25th, I would have taken it in a second.  We're better off now than I expected.

They're all dead?

No, not really.  I'm assuming nothing much happened, otherwise it would have been reported on endlessly by the media.  No catastrophe = no coverage.

Anyway, for seating and social distancing, there are a lot of complexities that would need to be worked out.  My family of 4 shouldn't have to be separated, we're living together and breathing one another's air every day.  College roommates wouldn't need to be separated for the same reason.  College boyfriend/girlfriend, same story. Or boyfriend/boyfriend or girlfriend/girlfriend, whatever floats you boat.

But how to manage dynamic seat assignment with varying degrees of closeness per group?  That's tricky.

The town it's in has 75 total cases, and one death.

It is a logistical nightmare to even lay out the seating but it *COULD* be done.  Someone a LOT better at programming than me could come up with a program to take groups of 1-10 (since 10 is the max, I think) and then seat them such that each group is at least 6' from every other group.  That is doable.  

The harder part, I think is several things after that:

• Getting those groups into their 6' separated areas while maintaining social distance, and
• Getting them to the restroom and back while maintaining social distance, and
• (if necessary) enforcing this whole thing.  How on earth would security/event staff know who was in what group.  The problem here isn't just random drunks crashing into other groups's space it is also that with TONS of empty seats there would be pressure to "upgrade" your seat by moving to a better one that is empty.
