This per Byrne's twitter.
Key wording in his statement is “plan”.
The University doesn’t have a say in what their attendance is. It will be up to the governor of Alabama.
I seriously doubt he'll piss off every football fan in the state. Because if AL does then so will Auburn. That would be a lot of big money boosters pissed.Quote:

All other SEC schools except Vandy will follow.
Alabama?s governor is Kay Ivey, who makes Haley Barbour sound like a Yankee.Quote:

Vandy has been at 25% capacity for years now. So everything will be back to normal.Quote:

Agree. And it's about to start to get to the point where politicians are going to be voted out in both parties if they don't start coming up with plans to re-open.Quote:

I hope so. I'd rather not go broke going to see the braves. I will be going .Quote:

They may try and charge up the Wazzu but a big chunk of the fans don?t want to be there so the supply and demand probably keeps thing neutral. STL fans are quite committed and would pay more, but I think it would be extremely unpopular to raise pricesQuote:
