#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.
The #Steelers held back 50% of the normal ticket inventory when individual game tickets went on sale today for the 2020 season. We are being proactive with these limited amount of tickets as we are preparing for possible social distancing scenarios at Heinz Field this year. https://t.co/MTdXg2buS0

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.
