What Sam said is correct.  The campaign announced that protesters had bought up all the tickets so that only about 12,000 of the 100,000 who allegedly wanted to attend actually could do so.
And the speech that was supposed to go to the overflow crowd was canceled because there was no overflow crowd.
I didn't get that from woke elites.  It all went down about 6 miles from where I'm sitting.
How much did a ticket cost?

I don't know, Hawkinole.

But I second your previous post on mask-wearing.  There's no logical reason for people to not wear masks.  The resistance to doing so is all tied up in other considerations.  Demonstrating one's political affiliation, personal courage, disdain for society, or whatever.

It demonstrates ignorance, first and foremost.

no need to read anything after that phrase.  It's rubbish and we all know it.

I will go back to 21-years ago. I somehow caught cryptosporidium and felt like I was going to die. I don't want to gross anybody out. I would still come down to my law office and work an hour a day, but in my early 40s I spoke like a 90-year old man. My gait slowed to a 90-year old man gait. And my gait was slow for 6-months. My doctor said I would completely recover, but I did not completely recover for one-year.

Before I was infected, I was healthier and better conditioned than most men my age. At age 63 I am healthier than most men my age. But, I am fully aware if I get a weird disease I could die or pass it onto someone who could die. I am taking precautions.

If one of us in my family that includes my wife and 25-year old daughter gets this, I am sending him/her to a local hotel to recover, and food and supplies will be delivered. My daughter is home for the summer on a PT internship and probably sees a dozen patients and staff a day. She wears protective gear, but I believe it is surgical masks. Patients are required to wear surgical masks unless they have COPD or something else that affects breathing.

My daughter is the most likely vector, and the least likely to have any consequence if she get this disease.

I'm not sure if I should visit my family in FL/GA.  I'm sure I'd be fine, but I don't want to get my dad sick or something.  I know the odds are against it, but the "what if" aspect keeps me sitting on the fence.

It's tough. We're going down to see my parents. I'm always worried about it but at some point the parents want to see their grand kids

My kid in Texas wants to visit, by air, soonish.  Probably will dissuade.

I think a lot of not wearing a mask is not understanding the purpose of it, finding it strange, fogging your glasses (which it does), and sometimes political.

One candidate makes a point of not wearing it and they other makes the opposite point.

We value our freedom but when it comes to responsibility .....

Where in FL Sam?  It makes a difference. Here where I am we are all still wearing masks and distancing.  But if you go to more populated areas lie Palm Beach or Tampa- there are a lot of younger folks not being careful and getting it. 
Happy Fathers Day!

Tulsa FD says that 6,900 people attended Trump's rally.  In the pictures I have seen, VERY few people are wearing masks.  I'd say less than 5%.

Although a much smaller crowd than anticipated, I am curious as to whether or not this will cause an outbreak.  Apparently they did temperature checks as people entered the stadium.

I would assume that most fans in cfb stadiums will wear masks, and that temperature checks would be a given.  Will this be enough?

If folks keep their masks in place, it would help.  I just can't see how the players are going to stay uninfectious.
