It’s not known how many schools in America intend on packing football stadiums in the fall, but it sounds like Kentucky won’t be among those who do.
I’m losing hope by the day that we’re going to see packed stands in the fall. While I still think we’ll have football, the prospect of having full stands seems dimmer and dimmer with every passing moment.

Given the fact that we’re in early July and coronavirus doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all, it’s hard to envision 100,000+ people packed into some stadiums around America.
As I’ve said many times to all the readers during this crisis: capacity being capped isn’t ideal, and people won’t like it.
However, it’s a hell of a lot better than nothing at all. I’d rather watch football on TV than not watch football at all.

I have gone to Wisconsin Badgers football games every single season for years and years, but if it’s not an option during the coronavirus pandemic, then I’ll gladly watch on TV.
We have to be flexible, folks. We don’t have to be happy about it, but we have to be flexible.
Huge thank you to everybody who made my trip to Nebraska an unforgettable experience.
The Cornhuskers truly have the best fans in America. I felt at home, and lost count of all the free drinks we were given.
