MAC Tourney Goes on Without the Fans
Reported in the COVID thread, but I figure all people might not look there.

Limited attendance. Refunds will be given.

RE: MAC Tourney Goes on Without the Fans
Idiotic. And now the OHSAA wrestling tournament that typically draws 50K fans over 3 days and 5 sessions will only have a limited number of fans allowed to attend. Parents and immediate family members - limited to 4 others. Good luck with administering that to a bunch of ardent wrestling fans that have tickets and have not missed the tourney in 10 to 25 years (or more). That is going to get ugly.

From my attendance at prior MAC tourneys, you could easily attend the game and sit in a seat that is not within 10 feet of another individual. And that could be spread over the entire arena and still allow anyone that wants to attend - to attend.

Maybe but I know wrestlers. They're huggers. One kumbaya moment and bang: zombie apocolypse.

As for womens basketball, the exception being Toledo, Central and probably Ball St it should feel like a normal home game for the other teams!! lol

If UT did go to the dance, how hollow would that feel if fans couldn't attend. I'd be pretty bummed.

yes the health risk, especially to those over age of 65, is getting out hand, its a very serious public health problem that all of us can deal with some minor inconvenience at home and work to help protect them, including fewer public events with large crowds

I've thought about that, especially for the men who haven't made it in my lifetime would definitely suck

It’s a gross overreaction in a time where everyone overreacts. This is America in 2020
