Should we be concerned about this Covid variant preventing fans from filling jack trice stadium this fall? To be clear, I’m of the opinion we should pack the jack regardless but want to get everyone’s feelings on the topic. I can’t take another fall with an empty Jack Trice.

Should we be concerned? Yes. Level of concern is minimal though. For now.

Still a couple of months to get the vaccination numbers where they should be to make sure it happens.

Seems like Jack Trice will be open pretty much no matter what, there will be tough choices for Hilton though.

as soon as the vaccines are fully approved most state universities will require for students like other vaccines. idk if its possible to do for games.

Iowa Regent Universities cannot require students to have the COVID-19 vaccination.

I think the policy will and should be full capacity, and will probably include an encouragement for all to get vaccinated with unvaccinated "required" to wear a mask.....vaccines are readily available for anyone that wants one, and anyone that isn't comfortable can choose to not go.

How far that extends into the season depends on the currently unvaccinated either getting a shot or at least not filling up hospitals, duration of immunity, and the level of protection the herd has to any variants that arise in the next 4 months.

I don't think the state of Iowa needs to worry about restrictions in sporting arenas. The state government will make sure to step in to make sure restrictions don't happen.
