Iowa State caps football ticket sales, and it may be model for others.

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing

We’ve all been wondering how college football might look in the fall. I think most of us think there will be a football season, but how will it look?

Will there be full capacity stadiums? Doubtful

Will there be limited capacity stadiums? Possible

Will there be empty stadiums? A small, but not out of the question chance.

We just don’t know exactly the future holds, but Iowa State gives a possible preview – should things continue to move in a controllable contained fashion.

“Because we expect to reach the 50 percent capacity limitation through season ticket sales, we do not anticipate selling single-game tickets unless the capacity limits are raised,” Pollard wrote, via the Des Moines Register.

I would imagine seating would be based on a season ticket holders donation or priority level.

A few days ago the Pittsburgh Steelers held back their inventory of tickets.

I just don’t think by the end of August or beginning of September the coronavirus will be at a point where where full stadiums will be allowed.

Putting people at risk is simply irresponsible. That said you can have social activities while being smart. With most stadiums outdoors, socially distanced fans, while possibly wearing masks which has been done before, we could have still have a relatively safe environment to attend sporting events.

I think it’s an acceptable compromise given the current situation.
