I was thinking 1/3 capacity would be the minimum, but I've still got a lot of questions as to how this is accomplished.
Who gets tickets? How is seating arranged? Six feet doesn't sound like a long way until you've sat in Memorial Stadium.

Seems relevant to me- I think the point was this a very serious problem.
I don't see how ANY team is going to be able to have fans in stadiums without a (proven) vaccine- unless they are ok with thousands of potential infections. You can do the math on when that might happen.
Right this very moment lawyers all over the country are figuring out ways to limit liability for situations like fall Saturdays with full stadiums. Count on it.

Can you imagine what those tickets will go for at places like StubHub?
Doubtful. NU fans haven’t paid big bucks for tix in decades.
I am ok with that. But season ticket holders have already paid for tix.
If I was doing it I would divide 90,000 by 7 home games or by 3.5 home games and let season ticket holders by tickets to 1 or 2 home games, depending on how many could be allowed as calculated by the social distancing algorithm. Then each season ticket holder can buy those tickets. Games assigned by lottery.

Pure speculation here....I hope that any university waits for a bit more time. We are only 2 months out from all hell breaking loose and the further we can put this pandemic into the rearview mirror the more "open" things will become. If some school now says that 20-25 thousand is the limit for games then that may become the threshold everyone else will concur with. Next month, 40 thousand will become plausible, 2 months 60 thousand seems prudent for opening day. Us humans, Americans in particular, have poor memory and the further away from a traumatic incident the less cautious we become.
I predict full attendance by opening weekend.

I am less concerned about the number of fans than I would be a player following guidelines to stay healthy. These are the same kids who get DUIs, smoke weed and break the rules. One kid can screw it all up for the whole team now.
How did OSU come up with 20k fans when they seat 100k+?

How US Universities and Colleges are handling this issue is what's relevant.
Brazil's handling is not.
Seems logical.
My guess is the fat cats will get to see them all and the rest of the season ticket holders will be allowed to buy tickets to select games.
Regardless of how it's done, we'll have a group or groups that feel left out.
Maybe I'm more naive than you but I would be stunned if they favored the fat cats that way. It would serve them right if the rest never renewed.
Remember the fat cat sections will have to be social distances just like everywhere else.
Maybe you're just more trusting than I.
I don't know. I just think if a big donor who drops well over $100,000 on the box then has to pay $1,500 a seat for the game tickets....they're likely to get a longer look on availability and people turning a blind eye to more folks in a booth than should be. Maybe I'm wrong.
