Hey Sky - did you know George Washington never knew there were Dinosaurs on Earth? He died in 1799 and the first fossil/bones were discovered in 1817 which then lead to the name Dinosaur in 1824. Just a little fun fact to go along with your pic!

I doubt it Murray. It is day by day, week by week and Covid report by Covid report IMO. In the past 5 days there were still 1.4M active cases and 123K new cases....and I just saw today another 75K new cases reported....that is quadruple from yesterday and a FAR cry from being over.
Then there is this:
1) Will fans over the age of 65 attend? What percentage do they make up weekly?
2) Will there be enough stadium staff willing to work each week to cover 107K people?
3) What about the bathrooms? What about the concession stands? 6' feet apart? What will that look like? How do you keep them clean/safe all day long?
4) Will there be enough gate $ each week to cover the cost to clean/ sanitize the stadium each week? And enough to protect the stadium staff if they do show up? Then there is the safety of the two teams that needs to be addressed if fans are allowed.
5) Then you need to consider this. Will people show up if they have family members with underlying illnesses? What percentage of these folks make up each weeks total?
6) And what about entering the stadium? 107K people lined up 6 feet apart? That is 132 miles!!
Nascar - no fans to start. Golf - no fans to start. NBA - considering 15%-20% fan capacity to start. MLB - a little more difficult, seeing 25% to 50% depending on the State. So why would PSU start off at 100%? Then you got the liability thing that I am not even close to understanding. Will fans be asked to sign a release?
From what I understand there were 47 million fans in attendance at ALL levels of College football last year.... and NO known Covid 19 cases as far as I know. Now you got 1.4M active cases to start off this season ( if it doesn't soon go down )....and 4 weeks later in October is about start time of the virus season. How does this come into play?
2M people caught the virus after college football ended in January and there were NO known cases for over a month afterwards.. Most sports ended at the end of March when the virus count was 100K. 10 weeks later we are at 2M and counting with NO sports and fans.
Just don't see ANY college football stadium opening at full capacity!
im just glad we got racing back on tv and if it’s safe to do so I will be at Talladega coming up 😁
I am on the fence right now with Penn State football. I am hoping people continue to take this virus serious and practice social distancing. It's just not going to magically disappear. I think the next 30 days will tell you a lot. As long as you have knuckleheads doing whatever the heck they want to, you might as well buy a new couch....that's were you will be watching your Nascar and PSU football.
My question would be even without COVID-19, would we have a full stadium for Kent State? 🤣 🤣 🤣
I'll put money on this.......any money....FULL STADIUMS....I've not been wrong yet. HS sports given the green light today.

TESTING...The more milk you pour on your cereal, the more milk you will find....many states have, in the last couple weeks, drastically ramped up testing at prisons and nursing facilities....
