As we await Jamie's decision regarding football attendance between the "no fans", "25% capacity", or "50% capacity" scenarios, for those of you among the 30,000 that purchased season tickets, have any of you already decided to opt out for the season? Or seriously considering opting out if fans are allowed? Or still "wait and see"?

Our group of 7 already opted out. One of our group already had COVID and they said it was pretty sobering to have to contact a bunch of people and let them know about the positive test so they could get tested. They thought they had been pretty careful until they started going through their calendar and making calls.

We have too many vulnerable people we care about to risk infecting them.

As far as we go I think me and the kids will go my wife is not wanting to go though as of now but it will be interesting to see what happens and how they have us spread out. So what if we only get to go to half the games do you think they will give us back half of the ticket price or will they hope we will just let them keep it?

Has anyone seen an outdoor venue that has had less fans in the stand have a bad outcome. I know there have been few instances. NASCAR has had a couple. I haven’t seen an outbreak related to such an event yet. Just wondering if that is what the AD is looking at. I think 50% capacity is unlikely.

We will opt out, as will all of our 6 other tailgate regulars (8 total). We all currently have tickets.

I plan to go if fans are allowed but dont know what the other 2 that have tickets with me will do. One drives from the quad cities and he sounds a bit defeated about the situation as part of the luster is being able to tailgate so a 3 hour drive for a stadium with few people in it probably sounds like a lot of driving for little entertainment value. I dunno how they will handle it if say 2 of the 3 of us want to go will they let us roll the 3rd seat over till next season or is it all or nothing?

We are on the fence on what to do. Of our 15 or so tailgating group I would say 10 have already opted out.

50% would be total insanity. Would be no different than 100% basically in terms of stopping the spread.

I think 10k could possibly be done safely if people stayed in their assigned seats.

We're going. One of our four reluctantly opted out, as he's dealing with underlying health risks. We'll try to sell his ticket to whatever games we get to attend.

Are you all under one name or do you guys just all sit together?

I’m going if they let me. My parents will likely stay home. If they go 3 and 3 I wonder if they will let us trade.

Our group of 6 opted out. Will likely get together at someone's place and watch most of the games.
