We are about a year ahead of where we should be in regards to events. Last year should have been no fans in the stands. This year should be reduced capacity and conference only schedules once again.

I've never even considered eating a whole cucumber. What an idea.i offset a hamburger or brisket plate by eating an entire cucumber
sort of the same logic.
I recently learned how to get a hotdog ready to eat in a microwave and I've been on a hot dog kick ever since...
Dill pickle.I've never even considered eating a whole cucumber. What an idea.
I used to eat peanut butter with my hot dogs as a kid. I am going to live forever!
As a former Texan, I used to joke that pickles counted as vegetables in Texas. Actually, not sure it's a joke...i offset a hamburger or brisket plate by eating an entire cucumber
sort of the same logic.
Just so everyone is clear and this doesn't go sideways (lest I be misunderstood)...
Everyone ultimately is going to have to make a choice. You CAN, obviously, go to a NASCAR race and get killed in the stands. I was once at a stock car race in England where on the same day a trunk (allegedly bolted down) flew off a car and into the crowd and hit both a woman and a kid near here. Neither was killed, but both were carted off in an ambulance. The same day, a tire blew and flew into the stands and knocked out a guy. And about a year or so after that, I was down close in the corner and a car hit the wall and a piece of fiberglass came off and put a rather deep "paper cut" into my ear. (Side note: seeing me crying injured, the driver got out of his car and sat on the fence (that's what you do in England) and consoled me, but I digress.
I am fine with LSU making whatever kind of mandate and I likewise AM JUST FINE if Alabama opts to not do so. Either way, they AND ALL OF US will be making a choice. I'm reluctantly making the choice to not attend any games this year despite being vaccinated because I have two brothers, the sane one and the one who subscribes to every conspiracy theory you can imagine. It's the latter that usually comes to the game with me - consequently, he is refusing the shot, and I am refusing to go to the game with him. In my case, a "no card check" mandate at BDS in and of itself wouldn't keep me away; however, going with someone I specifically know is both unkempt and unvaccinated is too high a risk.
I will not judge any of you for making a different choice, although I'll admit I think you should. (Such is judging your DECISION, not you just to make sure we're clear).
That said, I think this is good.

How many COVID outbreaks last autumn were traced to attendance at Alabama football games?
JMO, but I doubt that anyone would know the answer to that question.
The danger of large gatherings has gotten more severe since the new strain is so highly contagious, much more so than what we were dealing with last year.
None of these actions will do a statistically significant thing to reduce the potential for spread. False sense of security.Preemptive: NO POLITICS in this thread or it'll get shut down.
Tiger Stadium 2021 COVID-19 Protocols Announced

You mean last year when the stadium was 80% empty and the seating spread out????
Even the phrase puts a smile on my face.
I loved that show. One of my favorites from the past, along with ER.

I put instant coffee in a microwave oven once and went back in time three days…but I digress.
In full disclosure, I’m fully vaccinated as is everyone in my immediate family and household. I’ve actually been “back on the road” traveling since last August, long before any vaccines were approved or available. In every circumstance, on planes, in hotels, in cars, in public I did everything possible to minimize my risk.
Even today fully vaccinated , because I have two elderly people in my home, I still do everything possible to minimize my risk. I can’t chance bringing it home to them. I’ve avoided large gatherings, wear a mask in public, use social distancing and adhere to a frequent hand washing
For me, even fully vaccinated and with the follow up appropriate boosters, I wouldn’t attend a game. Reason is simple: no vaccine is 100% effective. And it’s looking like mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna may be less efficacious that our normal “flu type” vaccines.
As to whether a state or university can mandate such, that is for others to decide. But for me, I’ll stay home and turn on the tube.
@We_are_Bama said "...last year should have been no fans in the stands..." I'm just wondering, on what factual basis?
Could just be her opinion - one that a lot of people on this board shared last year. But this is the football board and we can really head in the wrong direction quickly if we try to get someone to explain their opinions on this subject here.
I like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with sliced bananas on it.Gotta add the jelly or it doesn’t count.
I had really wanted to go to a few home games this season, mingle with the crowd and everything, but I'm feeling a little reluctant now, even having been vaccinated. Maybe I'm being too timid?
I know this isn't feasible, but wouldn't it be something if the stadiums had a designated unvaccinated section.
