Corona Virus And Playoff Games

[Dafatone]

At this point, I'm not worried about fans. Fans are gravy. I just hope the season gets a conclusion.

At least, the fan in me hopes that. The less hockey-crazed part of me generally thinks these more drastic measures are the right thing to do.

What would be the incentive league wise if attendance is restricted from here on out ?  No ticket revenue or concession revenue with all the same expenditures.  This really sucks for the team, I'm just glad it's Princeton and not Harvard or Clarkson that they are playing from fans perspective.

Honor their commitment to the student-athletes?

What?

Stop laughing!

how many kids will go home if you have a place off campus you are paying for?

i don't think cornell is kicking you out of the city

I can't imagine games will continue.  That would leave the university wide open to litigation if and when somebody tests positive.  And a lot of Cornellians have New Jersey lawyer parents.

Not the hockey players, though.  Canadians aren't assholes so let them play.  :-)

The president of Cornell literally just released a statement, posted above by scoop85, stating that each athlete can invite three people to sporting events. From this you conclude that it is unimaginable that games will continue? The mortality rate of a 21-year-old D1 athlete from the virus is probably below .01%. What exactly is the risk of letting them play?

Someone teach one of the parents the cowbell - quick.

So if they are allowing games to continue (fingers crossed), I assume the freshmen who live in the dorms will have to move in with some upper class teammates. Lots of logistical hurdles.

I would venture a guess that pretty much everyone who lives off-campus stays in Ithaca. What sounds better, living care-free with your friends because you don't ever have to go to class or living with your parents?

the mayor told everyone to go home this afternoon as well.

That's ... interesting

Would think that would have a very drastic impact on the local economy.

Explain, what city, Ithaca? And who's meant by everyone, city employees, students?

The games are going on this weekend, just with very limited fan attendance. I don't think anyone can predict just yet what the situation will be with Lake Placid or the NCAA tournament

If it's Ithaca's mayor, he's a certified idiot!   So, I wouldn't be to moved by any of his actions.

How about keeping it reasonable, and spelling correctly.:-D
