If the sports venues try to gouge for tickets to make up for last year - I'm out. Its easier and cheaper to sit home and watch the games if I have to make that choice. I can tailgate in the driveway or backyard and have just as much fun with family and friends.

If you decide to come up to Syracuse for the Rutgers game...let me know. I can get you into our tailgate.

Whether you know it or not, you'll be inviting a very large party from this site along with panite.

Getting the fans to return is going to be a problem for a good long while. States are opening up the economy by doing away with outdoor masks but keeping indoor mask requirements. I'd expect a resurgence in cases once again this winter and its lockdown mentality all over again.

Many I'm sure have looked at the conditions as an opportunity to retire out from supporting sports teams due to its risks.

I would also add in that people have now realized that they do not need sports to enjoy their Saturday afternoon like they used to. They have spent an entire year being with their family and realizing that they enjoy it more than sports. I love Marshall, but I'd rather spend my Weekend on a Camping Trip with my family than sitting on a couch or in the stands.

I would go for the same price I have paid in the past. I don't feel like being gouged any further than I already am when heading to the ballpark.
