I guess we'll see soon enough.
March 24, 20214 yr Not a fan of big Gov in our lives but this may be a case of something good, I plan on getting shots soon. Pritzker is not popular in my part of this state but I'm not ripping on him, hes trying to do the right thing.

April 17, 20214 yr When are we upping attendance? SD looks to have way more fans and California had some of the strictest guidelines for a long time

I think the real question is when we will be comfortable eliminating the 6 foot distancing. I doubt you could go above 10,000 without seating some people closer than that.

Yeah I think that's why (at least in the Padres case) they had the vaccination (or negative test in 72 hrs) sections that allowed up to 67% capacity to help get more people in. It would definitely start to get tricky unless they're allowed to do something like that.
April 20, 20214 yr It's a buncha herd mentality. It's not by chance that almost every single major league team has the exact same requirements while most states have very different data sets, population density, etc. etc. In a very American way I bet you see increases right around Memorial Day. I'd guess 40-50% right around then. Either way, you still can't explain to me with a straight face the reasoning or methodology to all of the seating arrangements. I watch the Boston game and there are sections that are completely open, not a person in them. Centerfield had nobody. But right/center had fans scattered throughout. Tell me how that makes any sense. if you're that concerned wouldnt you want to spread those 20% out at max distance? Texas is averaging 27,000 a game ... the 7 day rolling average in DFW area is lower than it was 21 days ago. It's outside. Not controversial post here, but we can easily fit 20-25,000 fans in at these games utilizing the whole ball park and still be very safe, even to those who are conservative.
April 21, 20214 yr 60% vs 80% vs 100% -- what's the fkn difference, how is 60% capacity going to keep people safe? This is yet another example of d-bag politicans over-reaching / controlling and not making the slightest difference to protect people.
April 21, 20214 yr Let's go back to the segregation of the 1960s south, except instead of by race, it's by vaccination status. Vaccinated = 100/300 levels Not vaccinated = 500 level

April 22, 20214 yr I can't get fully vaccinated due to an adverse reaction that I had to shot #1 that almost killed me. You really want to exclude me from the rest of the season for something that is out of my control? Texas already has 100% capacity with no vaccine passport. They're doing just fine. Why would we demand something here that is unnecessary? Edited April 22, 20214 yr by Green Line
April 22, 20214 yr Sorry to hear about that with the first shot. Hopefully you are 100% recovered. Part of my comment is in gest, certainly because kids can be vaccinated right now anyway. But theres a compromise to 100% opening with no proof of vaccine and 100% opening but requiring everyone to be vaccinated. Maybe you say 20-25% can be filled by those without the vaccine and the rest can be filled by vaccinated people? Weird example, but dont they have sections at the park where peanuts cant be sold. Basically because some people, even just being around peanut dust, will get a very severe allergic reaction?

I thought I read that someone was doing sections of vaccinated people with no social distancing. If you buy tickets in that section then you have to prove vaccination. I think this is a decent compromise. Maybe every other section or something can be full capacity vs social distancing. Therefore still giving good seats and all locations to both parties. Might help increase the capacity under the current guidelines?
