Fans in Stands

I'm thinking the NFL is lobbying every team/city in the playoffs.

I think we should deploy troops to tsr86free's home and force him to attend a sporting event.

The whole concept is flawed.   People are free to stay home and never leave the safety of their home.   The one exception being if you require medical attention.

So if people opt not to stay home, it would have no impact on those that do.   The obvious rebuttal is, "I have to work."   Well, if nobody left their house, you probably wouldn't have a job to go to unless you were somehow in the food or medical business (production, distribution, so on).  Can't have it both ways.   

So, you do you, I'll do me... or you suggest for me to be ordered to stay home and i'll suggest that you be ordered to go out.   

I prefer minding my own business. But if have to deploy troops to your wifes uterus, I will.

Get the fucking shot when it's your turn.

I haven't heard a peep from the ticket office about playoff tickets (I opted in) so I'm expecting there will be no playoff tickets for the general public in GB for the 2020 postseason.

There’s no good reason why the Packers can’t have 8-10K fans at their games.  As long as people follow the protocols and space out I mean what’s the risk?  

I mean, if people can gather in church, or go to bars, or indoor dining, or Wal Mart, or shopping malls then why can’t they have some fans attend an outdoor game?  

Consume enough booze and it’ll likely kill the bugs anyway!!

This is all about the Packers and the NFL not wanting to be held liable if someone gets sick and dies from COVID.  

I'm thinking it's more about keeping the players healthy. All it takes is one idot fan to skip past security and get too close to the players. At the Titans game they had fans who were healthcare providers, who knew the risks, who were a low risk to do something dumb and infect players. I thought that was a really neat gesture to bring some of them into the game. (Besides Bellin being a sponsor.) So, team members were pretty safe in that regard.

With the general population and Wisconsinites being pretty stoopid right now regarding masks and safety (witness the healthcare worker who just threw away a whole bunch of vials of vaccine), I don't know how many people I'd allow into the stadium.

Some of it is safety, some of it is theater and some of it is protecting the bottom line. The NFL needs to show the masses that they can provide a safe venue - otherwise they'll have attendance issues next fall too.

Never underestimate the self-interest of these yacht owners.
They need your wallets in their stadia and that's hard to do if you're in an ICU

You spelled yaht rong.

How appropriate that it would be YOU, our resident yhat owner -  that pointed that out. How's life treating you Captain Sasquatch ?

You've been looking at his lower back, ass and earlobes again, haven't you?

When my butler reads these posts to me, sometimes I laugh.

Usually I don’t, though.

I gotta wonder if it makes any financial sense to open up the stadium to 7,000 fans. You gotta think all the money it takes to have full guest services running in the stadium needs more paid attendance than that to break even.

Good point.  You can’t rake in millions from the Super Bowl if you have a couple of teams in COVID protocols.

More players popping up on covid list today.  Wonder if the playoffs rosters are going to get chewed up after the holidays. That would suck.

If you tested +++ in the last 60 days you should be allowed in.  You should be immune to infection and not have to worry about infecting anyone else since they should be immune too.  Just bring a notice from your Dr., state or local clinic.

I hope I'm wrong but I think not having some form of a playoff bubble is going to have a big impact on at least one playoff game.

Cooper Kupp is out for a playoff deciding game already.

Didn't take long. 2 days?
