My interpretation of the order from Reeves is that The Dude can be wide open. 100%. If so, LET'S RIDE. Tennessee Tech picked a bad weekend to come to The Dude.

No kidding? Wow. I haven't heard anything yet. That's outstanding!
Not likely going to be 100% regardless.
Wonder how they'll do the season tickets now? Only the first 1500 in the BDC were able to purchase.
They may still limit GA but I don't see why you couldnt go 100% in the chairbacks.Quote:

Apparently, the decision to open things up completely is up to the local municipalities. So, it will be up to the board of supervisors and the mayor.Quote:

If people want to stay home because they're scared, that's there right too. But it should be up to the businesses(University) and people who would attend making those decisions, not the government.Quote:

I doubt we go full 100% right away.
But whatever is next is a whole lot better than 20%.
It's up to the school.Quote:

Mississippi State is not under the City of Starkville's authority or jurisdiction. But I would still socially distance if you can. Just keep it as common sense as possible. Don't go licking the railings and letting people sneeze in your face.Quote:

STATEMENT FROM MSU ATHLETICS ON GOVERNOR?S ANNOUNCEMENT
Based on updates in Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves' latest Executive Order, Mississippi State Athletics will optimize capacity at events in the near future while maintaining appropriate health and safety standards.
The health and safety of student-athletes, staff and the Mississippi State community remain of the utmost importance. MSU intends to strike a necessary balance between protecting our student-athletes, staff, and fans and expanded capacity and fewer restrictions.
MSU is in constant communication with state and local government officials, as well as other state institutions, to determine what modifications will be made to existing game-day operations plans.
MSU Athletics will assess the situation during the coming weeks prior to Southeastern Conference competition. Once details are finalized, the MSU Athletics Ticket Office will contact ticket holders and students via email.
MSU appreciates everyone's continued patience and flexibility during this process.
In consultation with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Mississippi State Department of Health, and the SEC, MSU will continue existing game-day health and safety guidelines including:
All guests, employees and stadium workers will conduct self-screening prior to leaving home. Per MSU guidelines, this should include an "at-home" temperature check, and review of potential COVID-19 symptoms, including cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, muscle pains, sore throat, and a new loss of taste or smell. If anyone has any of these symptoms or a fever of greater than 100.4 degrees, the person should stay home.
Anyone with these symptoms after entering the stadium shall report to stadium First Aid Stations for screening and triage by Emergency Service response staff.
Enhanced cleaning and sanitization procedures throughout the stadium prior to and during all games.
All stadium workers and athletic department staff will wear face coverings over the nose and mouth at all times.
Face coverings (over the nose and mouth) shall be required as a condition of admittance for all guest during ingress, egress, and movement throughout the stadium, as well as any time guests are unable to maintain the recommended physical distance from others who are not in their same household or when actively eating or drinking.
Hand sanitizing stations will be provided throughout the stadium, along with increased directional signage.
Signage will be placed along pedestrian paths to the stadium, at gates and/or other ingress/entry points that outline mandates for all guests to wear face coverings and mandates guests not to enter the stadium if they display any COVID-19 symptoms as outlined by the CDC.
To the extent possible, all transactions will be contactless or touchless such as mobile ticketing, contactless ticket scanning, touchless restroom fixtures, cashless and touchless concessions and if available, fan apparel sales. For more information on mobile ticketing and frequently asked questions visit hailst.at/MobileTickets
I'm starting to wonder (conspiracy theory warning) if this is going to serve as an experiment to see if MSU can sell tickets and meet demand without having to sell berm tickets. Intentional or not.
I'm excited no matter what they mean decide. More people allowed in means more tickets on the open market- which makes it easier to see a game regardless of the capacity restrictions.
I'm not sure I understand your first paragraph....Quote:

They both deserve a ton of heat for this bullshit.Quote:

Come may, it's going to be hot wearing a mask at a baseball game. I guess you could just hold a water and say you're drinking
First, nobody is going to be punished. Second, I get we want people in the stands. Third, we absolutely want the berms full. And they will be in this scenario and when we are "full".Quote:

I'm going off of what the Genespage crew is saying as far as unused tickets by ticket holders being "looked at" and those fans possibly having to buy fewer tickets in the future.Quote:

If they weren't warned of the possibility that more tickets would be sold, I don't mind giving them a week's notice and some sort of refund option if they aren't comfortable attending with full capacity.Quote:

I will be sure to tell my dead father-in-law that Covid was just a scare tactic. I am sure he will be impressed. As will my two cousins and three friends that are cold and in the ground.Quote:
