Alabama is moving ahead with plans to host full-capacity college football games at Bryant-Denny Stadium this coming season, athletic director Greg Byrne announced Monday.
Byrne tweeted a short statement after news earlier in the day that the school would be returning to in-person instruction without restrictions on classroom capacity in the fall. Byrne said they will continue to monitor medical guidelines "as we have all along."
Alabama reduced its capacity to 20% last season as COVID-19 spread, infecting millions of Americans. Infections have dropped significantly of late.
Hopefully it will be ok by then. If I were them I'd figure out a way to make sure that anybody who went in there was vaccinated. Since most people who attend these games are people of means you would think that most of them would be.
I generally think the lockdowns have been too harsh, but a crowded arena is probably one of the most dangerous places in this pandemic. Screaming spreads droplets.
