Dolphins owners says there will be NFL games, with asses in the seats

Dolphins owner: NFL season will happen with fans

Games, yes. Fans? I hope so, but I'd have to say I doubt it right now. All you have to do is look at the pictures of how stupid most of the people are in areas where things are opening up. If people were total idiots we could open up and open safely. How do you handle the crowd of people before and after games? The bathroom lines? The idiots who will tailgate with complete disregard for health and safety. People sitting and rubbing shoulders with the person next to them because the seats are so close. If people weren't so dumb we could figure out a way to do it safely (maybe staggered entrance and exits and every other seat empty), but the idiots will ruin it for everyone else just like always. I mean, you have people in Philly who eat dog shit and pee on opposing fans and throw up on little girls. These degenerates are going to wear a mask at all times and keep as much social distancing as possible and respect their fellow fans? You will have NFL fans screaming and spewing their spit all over the stadium each time something happens that pisses them off. You will have drunks that lose all track of personal space and safety measures. Plus, I don't think the league will allow it in individual cities and it would have to be globally which would mean all cities are allowing it.

I hope we get to the point by early September that we can do this, but I just don't see it happening and also continuing every week without a second wave coming and suspending the fans part way through the year.

I'm not optimistic about fans.

German Bundesliga is playing without fans. NASCAR is doing it. F1 is considering it.

I think it's going to be hard enough keeping these players (who are not rocket scientists) from wiping out a locker room.

Dolphins owner: NFL season will happen with fans

"I think there definitely will be a football season this year," Ross said Tuesday during an interview with CNBC. "Real question is, will there be fans in the stadium? Right now -- today -- we're planning to have fans in the stadium."

That in red is a little different from the headline, but we know want headlines are for.

Right now, today could obviously change by September.

Blank has said something similar in terms of what they are planning on...I hope he's right in some shape or form, but the truth is nobody really knows yet.

I'm sure the owners are thinking thru all of the options with fans...because many of these fans don't actually attend the games...if the games are played...unless it's shutdown...tailgaters will still tailgate...fans in games or not.

I'm with you...I don't expect fans in the stands, but if there my guess it would be a fraction of capacity.

the nfl will die without stadium revenue. its a majority of where player salaries are derived.
fanless games would kill the league. as with most others.

The majority of deaths from Covid-19 are the elderly.

Jus sayin....

This is hard to believe.

 

[blue_suns]

if they do it's probably gonna be half capacity stadiums or something similar

 

[THUNDER]

This is hard to believe.

Not if ya think about.
Nfl is expensive to go to.
How many 20 or even 30 year old fans can afford to take their families on a consistent basis?

Can't fix stupid I guess.

How many nose picking millenials can afford season's tickets?

Everything was more affordable 10 years ago.

Haha...I'm talking 40 years ago when I used to go to Texas Stadium on a regular basis.
And Arlington Stadium.
Those were the days.
