The key phrase was “when they made the call”. Your OP was wrong.

I seriously can't remember what the rules were when we made the call, but if anything, aren't we under stricter rules now, since the Governor put additional restrictions on Hampton Roads?

You are correct. Events are still limited to 50 people or less.

This actually gets into a good point about arbitrary rules. Is it all events limited to 50 or just indoor events? If all, what constitutes an “event?” If there is a soccer tournament with 10 fields, spread over 20 acres, does the rule of 50 still make sense? If I’m playing volleyball in a rec center gym with two courts, should that max number be different than if my building was big enough for 10 courts? Should WalMart capacity be limited to 50?

The rules are totally arbitrary and really difficult to enforce. Also, I’d love to see the data that says 49 is ok, but 50 is dangerous.

Clearly, we could be playing right now, To be honest, I don’t miss our sports as much as I thought I would (that probably changes if it’s still this way during hoops season), but I’m totally bummed for our student-athletes.
Just go into any walmart or target and there are well more than 50 customers in the store not even counting the employees. So 50 people in an enclosed store is OK but having more than 50 in an open air stadium is against the rules. Shows how arbitrary the numbers and restrictions are and how little they are actually enforced.
