I’m still not sure that I believe we’re going to see stadiums 20% full in the fall. I’d love for them to be packed, but I’m also realistic.

You can’t even go to a movie theater right now! Who in their right mind is going to believe that you can put 20,000 people into a football stadium?

I just don’t see it happening. I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt it.

At this point, we just need to accept the fact that we’re going to be watching college football games at home or in bars during the 2020 season.

Hanging out at stadiums across America seems unlikely.

Let’s just keep trying to make sure that games even happen at all. That has to continue to be the top priority.
