Kansas City Chiefs explore ways to get fans in stadiums
https://www.bizjournals.com/kansasci...-stadiums.html
NFL teams, Kansas City Chiefs explore ways to get fans in stadiums As the National Football League prepares for the start of its season, teams exploring ways to play in front of fans in the stadium may have hit on a potential solution — backed by new language on tickets protecting franchises from claims due to Covid-19 outbreaks. At least three teams, including the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, are exploring the concept of “podding,” Yahoo Sports reports. The other two teams are the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys. It works like this: Fans who attend games together get tickets in “pods,” which group them together but keep them socially distanced from other pods, the report says. One source likened it to the approach restaurants take with groups dining together. The news leaked, perhaps not surprisingly, from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who admitted during comments to the media that whatever plans the NFL comes up with could change based on state and local guidance in place when the season starts in September. Jones declined to speculate on the overall size of crowds he expects, the report says. But he expects the pods to be anywhere from five to 15 people. Another source told Yahoo Sports that teams have software that will allow them to break up seating sections and arrange pods based on which seats are not being used, creating a “checkerboard” spread of fans in the stands. |

Y'know what they should do is not have fans, but put a speaker in each seat that's set at normal volume. The ticket holder can then yell at their TV and have it carry into the stadium.

You can sit with 200 other people in a 737 for hours on end jammed in like cattle, but you can't sit in an open-air stadium for 3 hours . . . geniuses i tell you.

Come on, buddy. One is for relatively essential transportation and the other is for viewing a luxury item in person that one could just as easily watch on TV. I don’t think there’s anyone who *needs* to be at Arrowhead for the opener or else it will seriously impact that person’s life.

It simply doesn’t make any sense that one is safe while the other is not. It doesn’t have anything to do with whether it’s essential or not. I know for a fact there are people flying in the next few weeks to go to places like Greece. And they’re sure as shit not going for anything other than recreational reasons. |
