Once again why does 1000 fans matter if it can be done with families sitting together, mask worn and people sitting 6 feet apart.
5 fridays until kickoff!!!
- Thread starter FarWestNorthCarolinaSports
- Start date
Who makes sure everyone is following protocols? 1000 people is alot for a handful of admins. To be honest many schoos couldn't get 1000 people socially distanced. Especially 1A schools.
I think you are going to see earlier start times, especially with Governor curfew. With all the spread offenses 7:30 start makes finishing by 10 difficult.
I have always felt JV should start earlier anyway and a lot of conferences has already adopted that Several years ago.
Well guess what smaller schools with smaller stadiums want let as many people in. Do you know what the guidelines are going to be for NCHSAA. If not what you are complaining about is dumb as heck. I got my temp checked before I went into games and had to have my mask on in TN. They didn’t sell tickets at the gate unless they knew a team wouldn’t bring a lot fans and then only sold so many. Away games you only got so many tickets.
Watching a football game should be considered essential
The guidelines will be whatever the NCDHHS set and right now those guidelines are 100 and I don't see that changing in a handful of weeks.
Sevierville TN and Myrtle Beach SC.
EVERY Day ALL DAY
As people leave, others are coming in. The cycle is continuous, which in one day it comes out to more than 1,000
It’s certainly possible. So is 100% of the public wearing a mask. But think of how many people say they’ll never wear one. Or how many law enforcement officers have said they won’t enforce the Governor’s executive order. Are we to think that all administrators will enforce social distancing? What about student sections? Will they break those up? Keep in mind that many systems are still remote.
I personally think there’s a better way. The Governor allowed seven percent capacity for college stadiums. So, I’d propose this.
Calculate seven percent of the home side and visitors side separately. All ticket sales online only for a specific side of the field. Give immediate family members a few days to purchase prior to opening sales to the general public, with a predetermined limit for family purchase for both teams, based on that side’s capacity. Same limit for every family on their respective sides. When seven percent is reached, stop selling. Have admin staff there to ensure that fans sit on the side for which they have purchased tickets.
Then, take the time to block off portions of the stands that would ensure social distancing. Enforce that and masks without exception. No fake doctor’s notes.
Those steps would allow almost all stadiums more than 100 fans. It would be reasonable steps to avoid the clusters we normally see at games. With the added method of viewing on Youtube, it should accommodate most fans.
Perhaps the NCHSAA should float that plan to the state health department. We might be surprised at the result.
This isn't dirty myrtle or dirty myrtle mountain. Those 2 states have treated Covid like a hoax anyway.
People are continuously crossing one another all day long
You do realize the longer you are exposed to someone the more at risk you are? So passing someone in a store is little to no risk while being near someone for 3 hours puts you at more risk.
This is what happens when your government doesn't take things serious. Georgia and SC at the bottom with Alabama, Mississippi, Arizona, and Nevada.
Why do people feel the need to toss around that term so lightly? It's pretty unsettling the way we use that term considering what the nazis did to people.
Come on man, you're much better than that. We all should be better than that.

Once again you're comparing 2 totally different situations and last I checked ya gotta have groceries and sometimes some drywall for a repair. Food is essential as is shelter. Unfortunately sitting in the stands at a game for 3 hours isn't.
If it's "little to no risk" then why are mask required?
I really dont know why everybody in GA isn't dead already after playing HS football with full capacity.
Thank goodness for copper.

I'm just going to let you educate yourself since you seem to not be up to speed on things.
.
A scientific study done by the website wallethub.com? According to the study, SC has a lower transmission rate, hospitalization rate, and death rate than many of the states that rate as “safer”, but vaccination rate is counted as double those others to make SC less safe? . Not saying that SC doesn’t have a pretty high rate but the methodology is curious as is the scientific status of a website devoted to blogging about saving money.
I mean, if a state has a lower transmission rate, lower hospitalization rate, and lower death rate you’d think it would be safer than a state with higher rates in each of those categories yet somehow that isn’t the case here according to this study. Lower rates=less safe?

I’m sure everyone in tn, ga, and sc are so sad because their governors didn’t save their kids lives by playing football in February
I’m terribly upset we had season. Son made the East West all star game. Got voted All State in by the Coaches. Got 4 D3 offers. It’s just sad we had a full 10 game season with playoffs.

Folks only 100 people are getting in, hear the from the Conference commissioner today. Said the NCHSAA had nothing to do with the limits placed on seating, those requirements were placed by the NC dept of Health. I even asked about Venues that sat 1000’s of people and he said it doesn’t matter. Only families can sit together and everyone must social distance. To me it just doesn’t make sense when a stadium seats 5,000 to only let in 100. When you look at it like this only 1 parent may get in for home teams when you have say a roster of 50ish and you have to include the cheer parents as well, which would mean no visitor parents as well
Every action has an reaction
The left just happen to over look the results of lockdowns.
if you had a smart governor like ours you could’ve play 10 basketball games then started football in February. Well have more kids fall victim to frost bite than covid.
TSSAA 
odd you didn’t mention the coaches who passed away from Covid during the season. Tennessee is one of the worst states to live in with Covid...but science, am I right? SMH,
