Not a chance they will allow full stadiums without a vaccine. That’s just stupid as all hell. 

Do you all know anybody dead from COVID-19 yet? Because you are talking like you don't. It's still abstract.   I now know of at least 8 people in my circle dead (I'm in NYC). Off the top of

People have already given up social distancing. They are congregating all over Nashville right now, and many of the outer counties (who tend to be more conservative) have been ignoring things for a while. Granted, a lot of people in these communities are still social distancing and trying to fight the "it's all a conspiracy" folks, but it's a losing battle. 

 

Way too many people cannot empathize until they are personally affected. And by that time, it will be too late.

 

Whether the NFL opens with fans will probably depend on whether the next infection wave hits before the end of summer. Looking at how mentally weak people are with quarantine, I think it's obvious that the country is going to have a lot of areas regress.

 

The NFL will likely have everyone sign some agreement waiving all risk, they'll force PSL owners to pay full price, and we'll get a ton of propaganda before hand about how careful the NFL is being and why restarting is really important to the communities. They're having fans back because that's what the fans want!

 

The Player's Association will get on board because they don't want to give up millions. The White House and Governors will continue punting responsibility and will leave decisions up to "businesses." The only thing stopping the NFL will be threats of a lawsuit -- as long as state governments OK the NFL and they force waivers, it will be difficult to sue.

This is exactly what it will hinge on

Numbers of daily infections are still going up in Nashville despite the weather warming and a decent chunk of the population social distancing.

Per Steinberg who is a top agent. 

Doubt there will be packed stadiums. I truly think there won’t be more than 10k people at games with them being 6 feet apart. 
 

I said the other day that I expect there to be fans at the game but it will be PSL’s sitting 6 ft apart from one another. 
 

also as far as covid is concerned I think there will be a major second wave

No one knows for sure what the status and impact of the virus will be in Sept.  Will there be a second wave, a steady decline in the infection rate or will the virus outbreak just grow from here with the reopenings?

 

Given the uncertainty, the NFL has multiple contingencies already planned for.  A normal opening is just one of them.

Any politician blocking the NFL from opening stadiums would be committing political suicide. 

Social distancing is still in effect and will still likely be in effect. Any fan attending games will be putting themselves and others at risk. Imagine concessions lines six feet apart? This country is still in denial.

Again, I prefer to leave politics out of this so let me say that at the start. I think there is So much misinformation out there and agendas that it is impossible to know what is true and what is not. You have on one side the doom and gloom party that insists that things will Get bad in “two weeks, just wait” and then you have the other side which is the deniers who don’t believe this is real. 
 

There are idiots out there who refused to social distance from the start to help impact the curve. Fuck them. You have the media now that loves the fear porn part of this to go with the ratings and want this to go on indefinitely. Fuck them. There are people creating models talking about what this virus can do on a second wave. Sure, they certainly nailed the first projections so why not allow them to do it again. Fuck them. 
 

No one knows what will happen and anyone talking about absolutes is an idiot....no matter what you believe.

I know you are saying that you want to keep politics out of it, but your posts are definitely not keeping politics out of it.

 

That's OK, but just because someone starts off with "I'm not racist but..." doesn't mean the following comment like, "we never should have ended slavery," is magically not racist.

If they dont allow fans they aren't going to allow hundreds of support staff and players either.

Joel, you understand that if they have these fast swab tests, that all of the players and support staff will be tested the day of the game.  It's doubtful that they are going to swab test every fan coming into the stadium.

Yet they are going to test all the rest of the people? Even if they do it would be like watching a scrimmage without fans there. It simply won't have very much appeal. 

The appeal is that you would not be watching...
