NY arenas can reopen to fans: Live sports, shows can return

Testing is required and capacity limits will be enforced, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said today.

Could affect only UNC unless other three are made up.

Men's and Women's LAX.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Would they figure 10% of 25,000 or 10% of 35,000?

Men's and Women's LAX.

Yes, of course. For MBB. Didn't check WBB. So if the Dome's capacity is 50000, does that mean 5000 for all sports. WE COULD PUT THE COURT AT THE 50 YARD LINE!!!

WBB: 2 games against BC (25th) and NC State (28th).

Lax is interesting... very VERY rarely is the 300 level open (no endzone seating, obv) ... so is it 10% of the seats between the goal lines?

Not what I'm asking though. The dome capacity is 49 and change. However lacrosse has never had the whole building open ... so I'm curious what the numbers for lacrosse can actually be. I would assume they would section out blocks of 4 seats and socially distant them.

I would think 28 k would be hoops capacity . Anything that’s not long range view. So I’ll take 2 of those 2800 ( fat chance huh ). Also my optimism for football season has just increased twofold if they are letting in fans now.

I don't need to go that bad. You can have mine.

Just let in Senior students and give priority to top season ticket holders.
It’s likely only one or two games at most.

Huh , I don’t have Hoops seasons. So I was speaking tongue in cheek. DCuse and I have both been vaccinated so I would feel pretty secure that I wasn’t part of a spreading event with mask and testing. But I won’t be getting a ticket. Very hopeful for fall though

No reason they couldn't open it. It sounds like the rule is regarding stadium size.

The article says 10% which is 3,000 fans for hoops yet they say Wildhack wants 1,500? I assume the 1,500 number was a goal before hearing today that it can be 3,000?

Yes, I believe this was step one in the plan. Get the students and staff (maybe player families) only in to start. Expand from there.

there have been games where the upper deck is open. why Place an artificial limit on attendence

 

[upperdeck]

how do they plan on the testing part is the big question.. Bills made everyone show up and get a test there.. the Dome I could suppose do the same thing but its a lot harder to get too..

If we did Kentucky/Rupp arena math, 10% capacity would be 30K people could attend the game.

They'd be going by 10% mental capacity.
So yeah - Rupp could be full, and still meet that requirement.

If we can get this up to 50% by September, we can have normal crowds for the football games.

(sigh)

Section 321 started practicing social distancing in 2019 before it became cool

Attendees for the final home game will be non-randomly chosen from people that replied to Matt Park's Twitter poll.
