That's interesting. I guess, for me, it doesn't make any sense for the on-field participants to count towards stadium capacity. They never count towards stadium capacity. If you're counting band/drill team as part of the 50% then I can understand that, but why are you counting people as sitting in the bleachers when they will clearly not be sitting in the bleachers? I also wonder if stadiums with separate bleachers/seating for the bands will still count that towards the 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social distancing maybe a good idea with those fans that think they know but really do not know the game. Some will do temperature checks I’m sure.

Some of the more affluent schools will probably even have the infrared temp scanners at the gate that record your temperature as you walk through. We've just ordered some of those for our school district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still trying to figure out how participants on the field count toward seating capacity. They are thinking in terms of fire code capacity I guess.

You could move the band and drill team to the fields. You could also add bleacher seating in end zones. These are all things I want to see in Gladewater on the 27th so I have a good chance of getting in . That or just go ahead and move it to Lobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0tc0m Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 It's a smart idea to move those groups out of the stands, or into their own set of stands, when possible. Certainly seems like it would make more "room" for fans under the 50% rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understand that right, season ticket holders will still have season tickets but seating is first come first serve. No assigned seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are basically telling their fan base - if you want to see us play Argyle and Carthage, you are also paying to see us play North Lamar and L-E, whether you come to the last 2 or not.

Allheartnoquit Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 If I were school admin trying to make as much money on tickets as we can at 50% I would set up bleachers on both side of the end zone out of the stadium capacity for the home and away bands. This would open up the "actually stadium capacity" to just fans and the bands would count toward it anymore. Then you could get more fans in the stands.
