I saw somewhere today that there is a good chance the Texas State Fair will be canceled. I'll see if I can find the article.
That's some damn commie shit right there.
Oktoberfest has been cancelled in Germany. Now, that is BIG!OUCH! That would suck for you all down there.
In Newport, RI, the legendary Newport Folk and Newport Jazz Festivals and other smaller music events were cancelled earlier this week.
While not as large as the events like your State Fairs, this will be an EXTREME hit to the local economy here. Especially these summer months, which are "key" for this area.
Outside of the Naval War College, NUWC and defense contractors here in the Newport area, it's mostly a service (hospitality) & tourist oriented industry.
Freakin'' COVID19!!
No wonder people are drinking more...
Yeah, nearly any entity that relies on travel/entertainment/recreation, etc type revenue is going to have a hard time for a while.OUCH! That would suck for you all down there.

Damn right. I'd have lost the farm betting on the Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo. I said Christ would return before anything ever kept that from happening!
I think the most interesting dynamic here is that it all depends on each state, region, administration for when and if football can happen at that particular school - and then - you add in conferences and the NCAA. In Michigan, Lansing might be perfectly fine, but Ann Arbor might not; our county has more than twice the cases. Or what if everyone's Gov in the B10 says CFB is good to go in one way or another, but Mich's Gov says it's a no-go? You could have cases nationally where certain schools are banned at the state level from participating. It could get super interesting, I'm not sure how the season happens unless there's a treatment or major drop in cases; or just the acceptance that some schools are out from the get go.
As long as Washington goes to the B1G 10 I'm fine with it imploding.
