All they said is no fans for now unless state rules change.Interesting. Who is this for, the players, fans or both? If both, which I am sure is the correct and compassionate answer, then it is doubtful they would be willing to play against any away opponents that have fans in the stands.
At first I thought you said no plans for football and I was worried.This will become the norm I believe.
Not sure the harm in letting some fans in. Especially if you can maintain 6ft social distancing between seats.

I don't see why they would be unwilling to play away games with fans in the stadiums. Players can/will be socially distanced from fans. The danger is to the fans not the players.Interesting.

Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana, and Purdue are the only programs still planning to have reduced fan amounts in the stands.
I thought Ohio St was going to allow 20%..
Since we have to travel to OSU, no fans in their stadium is a plus for us.
Unless of course they pump in recorded crowd noise to the stadium and only play that when our offense is on the field.
im ignorant to this. so what does this involve? i know they need security; ticket takers; possibly concessionaires. none of those seem impossible to deal with.So whether 100 fans or 100k fans the logistics to pull off a public event are numerous. The liabilities involved would blow your mind and that is not even speaking to the COVID issues.
i would agree. so what are the other reasons we are not thinking of?Since it's outdoors, I don't see the harm in having fans in the stadium, if they wore a mask. That would be a pretty low transmission rate I would think.
But how would they ensure fairness that the crowd noise isn't being exaggerated or applied at certain moments to unfairly penalize the visiting team? I can see it happening between plays when nothing is happening but during a play, there's room for a lot of cheating when it is piped in artificial noise.Everyone will think of something for crowd noise making as much of real home game as possible..
I'm guessing it would be too hard to police fans not wearing their masks, and ultimately liability of some kind.i would agree. so what are the other reasons we are not thinking of?
Rules in state of Pennsylvania make it almost impossible to have fans. That had nothing to do with PSU playing in front of fans in other locations.I don't see why they would be unwilling to play away games with fans in the stadiums.

IMO ANTIFA and/or BLM will make a physical stand somewhere.i would agree. so what are the other reasons we are not thinking of?
