Not exactly sure.
That's my plan. Was talking with 1 of the people I have season tickets with and he was saying the bathroom is the main spot of concern. But after talking it out we figure we have less than half the people we normally do and won't be out tailgating and drinking for 6 hours prior plus only pop and water for concessions they should get much less usage. Plus you can always get up in the middle of a quarter to use them when hardly anyone else is to avoid the halftime rush. The challenge will be what to bring in to eat especially for an 11am game. For a 2:30 or evening kick off at least you can get a decent meal in before hand but if you are showing up around 9am or so to head to your seats it's going to be mid afternoon before the game is over so going to need a good breakfast beforehand and some decent snack food or something to bring in to hold you over for lunch.

I have a feeling there will be plenty of self policing going on because we want this to work and set the example of how you can have fans safely at a game.


Breakfast: wrap a couple breakfast burritos in tin foil and throw them in. Get some packs of salsa and you will be good to go. Lunch, a burger will stay semi warm and even a slightly warm burger is still decent. Throw in a package of red vines or peanuts and you have some snacks. You want something to drink? Get some 20 ounce bottles of your favorite beverage and premix them right before you go in. Make sure you have napkins, many will probably forget and have a mess on their hands.

I see you've given this a lot of thought and I applaud you for that. I'm writing some of this down.

One would think you'd start out no fans then ease into it, nope Pollard ramming ahead full steam.

Ya I mean take that TV money and gtfo out of here with the bags of cash. I think this could work, but I also don’t see the reason for the risk? How much return are we getting from 25000 fans? Is JP trying to save the running sports?

It is this week. Not sure how long it’ll last though. If it causes a surge we will hear about it again briefly but if it doesn’t, it’ll fade out. Their attention span isn’t very long.
It's Iowa. Good or bad news, nobody gives a sh!t about us nationally.

There's about 1,000 things that have been sources of outbreaks and this will just be in the pile if it happens.

Repeating but just wait two-three weeks here as numerous colleges across the country in placed way more heavily populated than Ames get going.
