I love this move from the B1G, and I’m not just saying that because I’m a Big 10 guy. I’m saying it because it’s true.
We need to put fans back in the stands if it’s possible, and we’ve clearly gotten to a point to where it’s possible to do safely.

The SEC had football fans and the B1G will now put up to 8,000 people into the stands starting March 8. March Madness will also have fans, which I can’t wait for.
I haven’t been to a college basketball or football game in over a year, and it’s time for that streak to end.

I honestly can’t wait to fire up my TV to watch some B1G action and see passionate fans in the seats. It’s going to warm my soul.
