2019 Spring Game

[orangepassion]

Last I heard, ESPN wants content for ACCN. Football is king. It gets the best ratings. They are putting heavy pressure on the ACC schools to televise their spring games on ACCN.

I think our staff was reluctant to do this last year with a new defensive scheme being introduced. That should no longer be a surprise. Pretty sure Dino and company are not going to be thrilled about it but my guess is that it will be televised. There might even be attendance. By fans that are not students or university staff.

Tailgating? Be still my beating heart! (Probably not).

Has all the secrecy over the years w/ the current staff helped us at all?

I can only speak for myself. The secrecy has not helped me at all.

That would be awesome. Frankly, I'm hoping televising is mandatory. Other than protecting players from crazy fans?(an actual issue) The secrecy seems silly.

If fans are allowed? Dome curiosity could make for one of the better attended spring games. (Unless hoops allows it 1st)

Agree. I really hope it's televised even if Dino doesn't like it. That's definitely one criticism I have of Dino is that he wants the big crowds, but I wish he would meet the fans halfway with fan engagement activities.

There's a better chance of seeing this streamed on ACCNX.

I think the tentative plan

1) Start with students and staff and basketball. Probably will happen for most of the last home basketball games (men and women). Expecting an announcement on this very soon.

2) Expand to include 'normal' fans (as normal as we get anyway) for lacrosse. Men and women. Upper deck might be opened to promote social distancing and take advantage of the extra space.

3) Spring game

Are you kidding? I’m telling you, we don’t win one freaking game last year without our secretive approach!

Oh, wait...upon further review...

2019 spring game was so amazing for us, the kids keep asking when we are going back Syracuse and where pretty pissed at COVID when we missed a full year haha.

I don't think we would have won one game in 2020 without secrecy!

Let that plan begin.

10% capacity
Negative test within 72 hours? Bahh. Wonder if a vaccination will do?

10% capacity shouldn't be an issue based on previous spring game attendance numbers.

our spring game was into social distancing before that became this hip and trendy thing

We’re hoping to get to a lacrosse game or two. Should be really easy to keep distance.
