I'd say doubtful... they already have sellouts, now isn't the time to start changing all the rules again or your entire fanbase will be pissedAnyone hear if they are going to go back on the No mask necessary Policy at the football games?
SmhAll the players are wearing facemasks. Been that way for a very long time, no need to change now.
I meant fans in the standsAll the players are wearing facemasks. Been that way for a very long time, no need to change now.
It will depend on infection and hospitalization levels...which depends on vaccination levels.Anyone hear if they are going to go back on the No mask necessary Policy at the football games?
Agree. Vaccines will have been out for 9.5 months by the time the first home game happens.. if you haven’t gotten one it’s not WVU’s problem. There is also 0 political will for masks/distancing anymore. It was hard enough to force that on people last year probably impossible now.I'd say doubtful... they already have sellouts, now isn't the time to start changing all the rules again or your entire fanbase will be pissed
Every mask policy currently at WVU involves indoors. There won't be a mask policy at games.Agree.

You’re correct but the key word you said is ‘current.’ There are several venues across the country that are starting to implement masks outdoors with large gatherings (I haven’t read the exact number). I bet if things don’t start getting better, Shane will implement a mask policy before he will cut capacity.Every mask policy currently at WVU involves indoors. There won't be a mask policy at games.
Hahaha good lord.Granddaughter started at App State and Boone has been declared Covid State of Emergency due to uptick in cases. Masks down to 2 year old are now mandatory again even if vaccinated.

I thought the only way to get the nightmare behind us was to hunker down for 15 days. But what do I know?It will depend on infection and hospitalization levels...which depends on vaccination levels.
If you want to be sure the season isn't interrupted get vaccinated and encourage your friends and family to get vaccinated as well.
Its the only way to get this nightmare behind us.
As a side benefit it will also help in keeping people alive. If you're into that.
For those of you that actually went to games in 2020, did they actually enforce the mask stuff?
Crowd shots on TV definitely didn't suggest that.
I think the mask genie is out of the bottle.I went to all the games that fans were allowed to attend last year....they had people walk around holding "masks up" signs, but they were not aggressively pointing people out or anything.
Also, I went to fan day this past Saturday and no fans were wearing masks....a few (maybe 8 or so) players wore them during the autograph session.

I'd like to think you're right, but the cynic in me says never say never. After all it is an election year next year.I think the mask genie is out of the bottle.

They tried that in Kansas and they ended up all over the store.Just got back home from the Granville Morgantown Walmart and the guy working at the door gave me a mask and said it is mandatory again for what it is worth here in Morgantown
The booster shots too , for the next 6 months,forever?I don’t believe WVU will force them at MPS but I do believe, once the FDA approves the various vaccines, there will be a bunch of vaccine mandates coming for schools, employers, government agencies, etc. It is coming because not enough people have been vaccinated so they will be forced to, as much as possible, at it will be legal. I read recently full vaccine approval could come in a few weeks so it could get interesting for those not vaccinated.
What I read didn’t address booster shots but my personal thought is they will be required until more folks are vaccinated and CV19 goes pretty much goes away.The booster shots too , for the next 6 months,forever?

Are uselessAnyone hear if they are going to go back on the No mask necessary Policy at the football games?
You can’t cut capacity when you’ve already sold all the tickets. How do you determine which tickets to cut? It’s virtually impossible to do at this pointI would say it’s a real possibility. I could see a situation where it’s either mask all attendees or cut capacity. With the financial hit that was incurred last year, cutting capacity is going to be an absolute last resort.
Which is partially my point. I don’t think there will be a capacity limit. However, a mask mandate is not out of the question if things continue to worsen.You can’t cut capacity when you’ve already sold all the tickets. How do you determine which tickets to cut?

I’d hate to have to be one to police the crowds over that.Which is partially my point. I don’t think there will be a capacity limit. However, a mask mandate is not out of the question if things continue to worsen.
CV19 isn’t going away. Need to deal with it and carry on with life.What I read didn’t address booster shots but my personal thought is they will be required until more folks are vaccinated and CV19 goes pretty much goes away.
