50 percent capacity

[preachermatt83]

The governor increased sporting event attendance to be up to 50% of capacity. Does this apply to colleges too?

[Commercecomet24]

It should apply to all, yes.

[Jarius]

We need to sell more tickets immediately if possible.

[Jack Lambert]

I am sorry but if they do they better assigned seats.

[starkvegasdawg]

Mask mandate also expires at 5:00pm except for schools and close contact businesses.

[FISHDAWG]

I'm crediting Leach and Costello

[HailStateSZN19]

Twitter is saying it's for high school football and extra curricular activities. I haven't seen anything about colleges.

[ShotgunDawg]

Just HS but likely bodes we’ll for later in the season. Could see A&M and Auburn games at 50%

[Homedawg]

Not for colleges

[Jarius]

This is so damn dumb.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Well that's bs if it's not extended to colleges. 50% should be 50%. No matter where you are. I understand the thought process is probably that a college gameday is going to bring fans from all over the state whereas high school games are usually only going to involve two towns. But honestly, the same people are going to come to Starkville whether its 25% or 50%. It'll just be whether they have tickets or not.

Agree that if it makes sense for HS it should be allowable for colleges too, but there's no way they could sell an additional 20,000 tickets between now and Saturday.

The hell they couldn’t. People would flock to the game in droves. We just beat LSU.

If they offered 20,000 addt. tickets at 6 PM Saturday they might sell out. People want to see this team and people want to see Leach.

Mississippi is low on the "Karen" and "coronabro" population compared to other states. I'm betting they'd have zero problem selling those tickets to people who would love to go to the game and see this team and Leach.

We have 8 thousand additional students that usually get tickets we could sell to tomorrow and put in the student section (and spread through other sections outside the student section to maintain virtue signaling).

They wouldn't show up if it was too hot, too cold, not a good opponent, couldn't sit with their friends, game was too early......am I leaving any of their usual excuses out? It took them two days to sell their 25% allotment of tickets. In the past we've sold the whole allotment in 4 hours. Don't give them anymore til they prove they can show up and stay.

I dunno - maybe we'll get the chance to find out.

I’m just saying it would not be hard to get rid of the tickets the week after we upset the #6 team in the country. If we have any left over add to the student ticket population and they would sell.

Well, the weather can't be used as an excuse Saturday. Should be around 60 at game time.
