Assuming they play this season I’m thinking:

- 25% capacity by ticket type

- General Seating within the ticket type sections (i.e. if you purchase Scholarship Premium tickets, you can sit anywhere in the Scholarship Premium sections)

- Social distancing signs and instructions posted all over the place

- Hand sanitizer stations all over the place

- Plexiglass shields at concession stands  

- Masks required except while seated eating or drinking

- alternating urinals and sinks blocked from usage

- UNT masks as MGSF gifts

I don't think we will have either football or basketball in 2020. If we do, attendance could be limited to season ticket holders only.

No sir.  Most new spots are about 30-40 feet we are being told.  But still not entirely known where the golf fence will go ultimately.  Plus there is the whole trees in the middle of spots thing to contend with.

I was told when I called to renew my season tickets that more then likely no single game tickets would be sold. They anticipate no more the 50% attendance allowed and season ticket holders and students will have first rights of access.

I'm leaning towards there will be a season this year.  The reason is that the P5s will lose combined multi-millions if there's not.  

That could mean that only FBS will have a fall season but another question is will it start on time?  Maybe, if the summer heat reduces the spread of the virus.  

I don't worry that much about the players because they're young and healthy and with proper treatment could could be back in playing shape in a short period of time.  I saw where Texas Tech had 20 something test positive when they reported and all but 2 are now negative.

I've got the longest row to hoe because of my age and I've been diabetic for a long time although that is improving.  I've bought my season tickets so I'll be there barring a turn for the worse.  

We should know more this week.

Would be interesting if it works out this way. There are many games scheduled between FBS and FCS teams; would they reschedule against other FBS teams that lost games? Perhaps if this happens the FBS teams will only play conference games? My guess at this point is that everything gets moved to the Spring.

Released yesterday.   Texas Medical Association rated playing football as a MODERATE-HIGH risk (7) but going to a sports stadium as a HIGH RISK (9).

Anyone who is analytical will tell you that there are lot of questions that need to be answered before that list is to be taken as gospel. Not to say there's not risk in doing some of those things. Good to know I can go to a church service with 499 people safely lol

This would be the only way, assuming we can even have football.

Yeah summer heat doesn't seem to be doing what we all hoped: the states with the largest increases in cases for the last 3 weeks are Arizona, Florida, and Texas.

Sorry, I’m not usually a very vocal member of this board, but this is an incredibly irresponsible point of view.
 

Many, many thousands of young people have died from this disease. The fact that any of us would knowingly put these young men in harms way...it’s deplorable y’all.
