    Texas Going with 50% Capacity

    Good news here. We?re going to play and the stadiums will likely have 50% capacity. Meaning MSU will have about 30K.

    We need to add bleachers in the South EZ so we can increase capacity to get more people socially distanced in the stadium.

    Additionally, what a great year to have Bama, LSU, and OM on the road. Crowd won’t be a factor

    That's a factor in my Crazy Year Theory. This will be one of those sports years with an asterisk beside it in the history books.

    You could add some there, and on the decks on either side of the Scoreboard Club. - easily push capacity up for not a lot of money. They do it for the GA/FL game in Jacksonville to up the capacity

    They can plan all they want. This in no way means it will actually happen.

    The rumor is that we will be at around 25%. The state government has the final say of what they will allow. I hope it is 50% though, that would be huge for the Starkville economy.

    I bet it doesn't happen exactly like that. I'm still skeptical college football will happen really at all.

    I’m sure you are.

    Remember that Austin is the capital and Texas’ stadium is right down the street. Texas wouldn’t be doing this without some influence

    Wouldn't be doing what? Giving their season ticket holders some hope?

    This is what has been said every time anyone has come out and said something like this - 'We are planning ____.' People say, 'They wouldn't come out and say that if they didn't know it was going to happen.' And then one by one, those same things get canceled or delayed later on.

    No one has any idea what will happen 2 months from now.

    They have to plan like it will happen. That doesn't mean it will. If we continue at our current rate football will be the last thing anyone is thinking about come September.

    Even if a school or conference did come out today and say we will be having football, they have zero clue what a month from now will be like.

    People looking for that answer or confirmation are just leading themselves on. Even if they get it. Counting on what is or what isn't said is doing the same.

    Just don't believe they would infringe on a premium area like that.

    1. I think putting some sort of temporary seating to the left and right of the Leo Seal would be a great idea. I think you could easily spread people out there and get capacity up just a little.

    2. From what I'm hearing on opt outs, 50% won't be a problem for us. I've heard as many as 40% already opted out. So getting another 10% shouldn't be an issue at all. The most important thing at the moment is that GENTLEMAN, WE PLAYING BALL. Let's ride.

    The funniest thing about this is that this will not affect crowds in Oxford one bit.

    Their student section has been practicing social distancing since halftime of the 2016 Egg Bowl.
