Any idea yet on fan attendance?

Providing IF games will be played this spring, has anyone heard about how schools will handle the attendance of fans? Limited seating? Online viewing? I know that it is going to be a play it by ear type of thing but I'm hoping to see a game soon.

This is where I saw it....guess the post was incorrect info

How does the Virginia governor’s order impact sports? What you need to know

VA's governor is a bigger idiot than Cooper.

 

[RD28327]

And, just when you thought you had things bad, some folks have it worse! Poor Virginia folks!!! 🙄

Gov. Northam extends Virginia’s 10-person gathering limit, stay-at-home order and more through February

California’s not playing at all.

Did Gov. Newsom’s office just end any hope for California high school football season?

Letter from Commissioner Tucker to NCHSAA member schools about spectator attendance, leadership

N.C. High School Athletic Association Commissioner Que Tucker sent the following email to member schools on Tuesday regarding recent discussions about spectator attendance at outdoor sporting events.

I do hope that the association will opt for a percentage based attendance as the executive order allows. But in doing so, we need to expect that it may negatively affect attendance for sports such as baseball and soccer. For instance, in Thomasville, soccer is played at what was intended to be a football practice field and track. So the spectator stands have very limited seating, all on one side of the field. 100 would be full and a reasonable percentage will mean very limited attendance. Packing 100 fans into that space with any semblance of social distancing would be impossible. There are baseball bleachers with similar problems.

That letter said absolutely nothing. And oc has there ever been 100 people at a High school soccer game? Lol

Yeah, occasionally during our state championship year, or if we were playing East Davidson. But only about forty were in the stands. Cops involved a couple times. Bad move to put two fan bases in the same stands. Especially in a sport where half the fans don’t even know the rules😁.

OC, I have been to a soccer game there once, was that field built for just practice or was it intended for game play?

It was built for football practice. Then a track was added and the bleachers were for track meets, long before Thomasville even thought about soccer. Not a lot of fan partisanship at track meets. But soccer families are a different sort.

Figures. Although I bet if you add a transgender undocumented kid to each team they would let them play.

If I remember correctly the stands we skewed toward one end of the field or do I have that confused with another field?

They’re not exactly centered, but fairly close. Probably aligned more for watching the finish line in track than better suited for football or soccer.

Jockeying for more football spectators hits interference

A last-ditch appeal to allow more spectators at Pisgah and Tuscola football games has come up empty.

This stuff is like make believe. 10,000 fans to 100. But I bet both ADs will be at the game with their wives. I feel horrible for the kids

UNC, a little unfair dragging AD’s into this. Their jobs are to be at athletic events. Their job is demanding in normal times. Imagine all that has been thrown at them this year, for less than minimum wage with hours put in.

Come on man. My son's girlfriend was a soccer player on varsity team for four years, only saw the AD at ONE GAME. ADs aren't at every sporting event, but they are present at every football game, count on that.

 

[ocdavis31]

I can honestly say that I have never been to a home sporting event at Thomasville when our current AD wasn’t there. AD’s don’t count in the 100, though the wife probably would.
I wouldn’t have that job in normal times......but now? Heck no!

I have spoken with numerous coaches in numerous counties and have been told their spouses will not be attending games since they count toward the 100 and as they are trying to let parents in first.

If you want to go by the book that the state will use, Kannapolis Memorial Stadium only "seats" approximately 6,500.

You were probably busy watching the game and didn’t notice the AD.
The AD probably checked in, saw things were being handled properly then went to do other AD stuff.
Plus no other sports are going on during football games. AD puts whole focus on FB games.

You could legit seat 30,000 people at Asheville high if you allowed people to sit on the banks of grass that surround 70 percent of the stadium. This whole thing is a joke

Hallelujah. Per HSOT
RALEIGH, N.C. — A source close to North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper told WRAL's Cullen Browder that an easing of COVID-19 restrictions is expected soon, including an increased capacity at high school sporting events.

As I said in an earlier post, you can bet he’s getting behind the scenes pressure from his fellow democrats to loosen up some restrictions.

Outdoor sporting events like HS should be common sense enough to push.

 

[SPRaiders78]

I heard today that the NC Legislators overrode Governor Coopers mandate. Not sure it’s true but I was told 50% stadium capacity.

There is a legislative bill, but not finalized or sent to the Governor. No clue if he’d veto it. Fifty percent would surprise me.

 

[SPRaiders78]

Thanks for the info OC. 50% would be great. South Point plays at home tomorrow night. I’ll be there, I might not get in but won’t be because l didn’t try

 

[crestcharger02]

Did they actually have enough votes to overcome veto?

 

[justchilln]

2 pm today there will be an update. 50% seems HIGH to me. I think they reached. If a team can get their player's and cheerleader's parents in the stadium that should be enough IMO. After that it is all about profits.

 

[The bear guru]

Im gonna go out on a limb and say 25-30%. I dont think Lord Cooper will allow 50 either..

 

[SPRaiders78]

Update on my previous post. The NC house voted to override Roy’s mandate but the NC Senate has not taken up the issue. So I guess at this point whatever Roy says will be what we get. I’m going to the stadium tomorrow night. I might not get in but it won’t be because I didn’t try

 

[AhsCougar1]

50 percent is fair. Anything less than that is stupid. I can’t reiterate this enough. YOURE OUTSIDE! So 1,000 people should be able to be on an away side and a home side if 250 people can get in an airplane right now

 

[KW23]

Cant Cooper say effective immediately which means people can watch tomorrow? Or does it have to go through more b.s. to become official before fans are allowed

 

[BK13T-$]

The Republicans pushed 40%.
Cooper will say today. Probably not going be 40%

 

[smashmouth5]

Announced 30%. Starts Friday.
