I’m probably going to wait for the final decision before getting all worked up over it. I will draw the line at mandatory masks though. Not sitting at a darning football game with a mask on.

To me it should be one or the other. Either reduce capacity to facilitate distancing, or don't and mandate masks. Masks are for times when appropriate distancing isn't possible, no reason to combine the two, especially outside.I’m probably going to wait for the final decision before getting all worked up over it.

Agreed. Goes back the meme I see everywhere. If six feet works why the need for a mask? If the mask works why the need for the six feet?To me it should be one or the other.

Good grief, a mask in feels-like 110* on the sunny east side. I'm dyin' thinking about that.
Need more than 6’ separation for louder talking droplets (12-15’ on average). A sneeze launched droplet goes about 30’. So the masks limit the droplets that get beyond that 6’ area on projected voice or sneeze situations. Those are fairly simple summaries.Agreed. Goes back the meme I see everywhere.

They are literally doing the best they can and within the letter of the law. There will be no perfect scenario here. They've mapped everything out and have a decision tree.So let's say it's 50%. TCU only sends out half your allotments? You bought 4 but get 2? That way at least season ticket holders and half their group can go to every game. (Then TCU sells the rest of the non-season ticket seats so that there's a space between each seat?)
I mean, if TCU tells me that despite being a lifelong fan, I lost the lottery and can't come to OU, OSU or Tech, there's going to be some screaming over the phone at somebody or some ALL CAPS EMAILS!!! Especially when I'm willing to bet this virus is pretty much not going to be a big issue by the end of August.
So six feet doesn’t make sense then right? So why has it been drilled into us everywhere? Maybe the mask logic is bad as well. If I can’t trust what the experts are telling me, and constantly changing, why should I listen at all?Need more than 6’ separation for louder talking droplets (12-15’ on average).

I think you will see 50 percent if they allow it. There would be enough demand for that. The math would be different because a supply problem is created where there wasn’t one before.In a normal season I would guess 60-75% of the tickets that are sold get used (and that might be generous. I've been to games where it is easily less than 50%). So 30-35k people in seats. And if they limit it to 25 or 50% and the same number of people use their seats that would be 7,500 - 17,000 people. Then, I suppose there will be a higher number of no-shows just due to the fact that it will be so much less exciting. So call it 5-12k fans sitting "socially distanced" in a 45,000 seat stadium.
It's just kind of ridiculous.
