Will COVID-19 be the needle that finally bursts the sports bubble?

Wonder how many takers they're gonna have.

 

I see where the Cyclones had 45,000 season-ticket holders last year. So 30,000 isn't a stretch. Unless, as others have said, customers used to sitting in good locations are dispatched to the end zones.
The appeal of the in-person experience relative to the home HDTV was already waning. I'll be curious to see how this one plays out.

 

UAB is in a unique position. For years, playing at Legion Field has been a handicap. It seats 70k, and 30k or so was a big crowd. Now there is room to social distance without any problems. Season ticket sales are ahead of where they were last season. Part of that involves ticket priority at the new stadium next season, but it is still remarkable under the circumstances.

 

Good to know Dickie Dunn is still in the industry.

 

Sad day on the Mountain.

 

Michigan wishes App. St. eliminated football.

 

So basically, just soccer and tennis. Indoor is absolutely meaningless, the track equivalent of arena football, so guys will still do CC in the fall and outdoor in the spring.

 

Schools like VCU and Xavier and Gonzaga may be in far better position to weather this mess because they don't have football. It's such a giant expenditure and the rewards just aren't there financially for the Apps and Akrons of the world.

 

But you're costing the 300 runners and weight throwers a scholarship!!!!!
