At this time, I am hearing 5,000 capacity. I know we usually have at least double that at home games but 5k is what I’m hearing from my contacts in Athletics. Also, no Lodge or Suite seat will be available or may be available in a very limited capacity

Season ticket holders better be first in line . Also, it will be funny site with 5000 people in the stadium , all sitting in sections 104,05,106. For God's sake, open it up to sound minded people that are willing to "risk" sitting outside to watch a football game. If you are afraid, please stay home and listen on the radio.

Spreading 5,000 season ticket holders throughout the stadium seems reasonable enough.

To the latter point, you cannot accept personal risk in a pandemic, instead, you're accepting the risk on behalf of other people. Remember smoking on airplanes? It's like that, only, because you sat next to someone smoking on an airplane, a month later your employee's little brother's teenage-grocer's mother dies of lung cancer.

And again, it's not about being afraid. It's doing the hard thing and taking responsibility. Whether you kill someone by a matter of circumstance or quite intentionally, whether that person was an innocent or guilty as hell, I promise you that's not a thing that goes away.

The good news is, what limited testing we have is so far behind and consequently our contract tracing so inept, so long as you remain asymptomatic, you'll never know what you've done.

I think 10,000 would be acceptable . Plenty of outdoor space

In a 30,000 seat stadium (with added spacing from aisles and so on), that doesn't seem too unreasonable. But they'd need to focus on choke-points around restrooms and the like… But then again, I've got a season-ticket-for-the-Braves-shaped-hole in my pocket.

Don't we average like 8-10k per game?
25% capacity is reasonable. Just wear masks and keep your distance.

Has attendance increased gradually since we moved from lockhart to Boca?

We averaged 17,607 last year. Obviously the big haul was UCF.

20 to 25% capacity seems to be the trend for all schools.
