Quote from: French RageMaybe it's just me but who the hell eats at a sporting event anyways.  Eat beforehand.  I'm too busy yelling and jumping and such to consider eating a meal at that moment.  But that may be just me.

Food's like the fourth best part of going to a baseball game.

Baseball is the most conducive sport for eating of any sport given it's languid pace and breaks between innings.

I don't eat at the hockey games either....  But, I damn well enjoy a beverage!   I think eliminating that is not fan-friendly when you consider all of the yelling & sore throats at Lynah.   I WILL be smuggling a beverage into the game!!!

For people whose natural dinnertime is around 8pm, not being able to eat between 6:45 and 9:30 is kind of inconvenient.

looked like most sections had maybe 25-50 people in them last night.

One of people at the entry point mentioned that they sold 100 tickets per section.   Secs B & D seemed to have more than 100 bodies.    100 per section equates to around 1500 planned attendance.

the big jump in positives on campus this week isnt gonna help them to relax things anytime soon.

Schafer said in his weekly email that capacity was limited to 1500 for Princeton but that they hope it will be more this weekend.

1500 wonder what the real crowd was, didnt look like even 1000 were there based on the townie side.

B was about 3/4 full. Maybe 1/2 C & D. Although only sold enough townie tickets to keep distancing, obviously no distancing for students.

Cop at Lynah

Rumor has it that next weekend they will expand to full attendance at Lynah

It will be interesting to see if they adjust policy given that nothing has really changed in the state for a couple of months. Still pretty much stuck on 4500 a day getting sick. the school is still seeing 3-5 new cases a day as well.

I just purchased tickets for the two Alaska-Fairbanks games.   They are now selling reserved seat tickets, not general admission for a selected section.  Maybe we're making another step toward normal (whatever that means).
