NGT Cowboys planning for fans to attend home game

giantfan2000 : 8/12/2020 3:18 pm
just putting this out t here ... I personally don't think this is happening but you never know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Quote:
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Wednesday during a video conference that his team is gearing up for fans at AT& T Stadium during the 2020 season. Jones noted that he's confident Cowboys fans can adhere to any rules for attending games.
"I am completely confident that if I've ever seen a general population have had information of where the issues are, where the vulnerabilities are, how to conduct yourself, the do-right rule relative to the person with you and beside you that you do or you don't know, I'm confident that we have very educated situation and that our fans can come and have a safe experience at our stadium along with of course our players having the safety they're required on the football," he said.

This thread should go well.
What about  
myquealer : 8/12/2020 3:29 pm : link
only allowing fans in the private suites?

That's where much of the money is anyway, right? And with the suites you are able to separate the fans into groups of people already associated with each other.

Being able to attend a game would be such an exclusive experience this year, they could charge even more than usual....
I wouldn't expect anything less

IMO this will not be the only team doing this and it will be a state by state situation unless the NFL steps in.
I wonder how the visiting team will take it if they are subjected to a packed stadium and get sick?
Not a bad idea.  
x meadowlander : 8/12/2020 3:36 pm : link
Philly should do the same.

>:)
So dumb  
Optimus-NY : 8/12/2020 3:50 pm : link
This should not be up for debate. NO fans. Period.
hmmm

wow this could actually work ..
if you limited the amount of people in each private suite .. and they were masked the entire time ..
Cowboys fans can't find Dallas on a map  
UConn4523 : 8/12/2020 4:07 pm : link
but they are going to follow COVID guidelines? Haha, riiiight.
It's Not Like Texas is Having Any Covid 19 Problems, Right?  
Jim in Tampa : 8/12/2020 4:34 pm : link
But even if it was in a state that's had fewer issues, I wouldn't count on NFL fans in ANY stadium to follow protocols.

NFL football, beer and looking out for the well being of other fans don't exactly go together.
has to be unsanitary. 10 years worth of Jerry's boogers  
Victor in CT : 8/12/2020 4:41 pm : link

I mean it’s not going to happen but we’re worried about fans 80+ feet away from players now? So much for 6 feet ..... now it’s 80.

Ok.

Ok.

Pack 50K (that's half capacity) into Dallas with the roof closed and have the Giants go in there and end up sick.
Not the distance as much as air flow and amount of people screaming
Let Dallas fans take an IQ test before admission Setting a passing

So you went ahead and decided not to read the article. Dismissed. Site really needs an ignore feature.
Good for the Cowboys  
Chris684 : 8/12/2020 7:49 pm : link
Would be great if there are fans.

There is a lot selective outrage over gatherings during Covid.
One word  
Big Al : 8/12/2020 7:52 pm : link
Darwin,
NO FANS PERIOD  
Giants86 : 8/12/2020 8:07 pm : link
It provides and unfair advantage for teams allowing fans.
We as Giants fans can't attend, therefore the whole league should have no fans in the stands. Make it consistent!
Um No  
GiantEgo : 8/12/2020 8:13 pm : link
The Cowboys have just three playoff wins since 1997 and haven’t appeared in an NFC Championship Game since 1995.

Jerry acts like they are perennial champions and call the shots in the NFL.

you mean the this quote-

Jones added that the Cowboys will follow state and local protocols when it comes to how many fans are able to attend games. Currently, Texas allows 50 percent capacity for sporting events. As with all things COVID-related, those allowances can change over the course of the season.

Yeah you are right about having the ignore feature it would be helpful.

Yes look at those aholes at Sturgis.
COVID positivity rate in Texas just hit 24.5%

I'm sure everything will be fine.

Jerry will be in a private suite and no one will be within feet, testing around the clock.
Not surprised.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 8/12/2020 9:37 pm : link
& I'm sure people in TX will go. I'll just leave it @ that.

Jones actually said in the article —

Jones noted that because of the expansive nature of the stadium, which has a multitude of suites and he believes has more places to put groups of 5-10 people, the ability to fit more fans at a safe distance is greater than some other stadiums.

It’s also an 80,000 capacity stadium (googled it) so not sure where your 50,000 estimate above come from even if you ignored Jones statement and used the max capacity on a Texas rough guideline from months ago. Out your ass I suppose.

Jerrah is insufferable. F the Cowboys.

I couldn’t imagine walking into the stadium without wearing a mask.
He’ll fill the place up  
Giant John : 8/13/2020 6:52 am : link
Free admission, standing room only., pack’em in. Go for it.
Spacing in stands, sure!

Chokepoints? Bathrooms, lines, end of game mass-exodus? Superspreader.

Also, drunks are inevitable, and drunks are bad at following CoVid rules.

is a self made genius businessman. Maybe he sees far worse outcomes by not trying to move on with life safely.

Texas has almost 100,000 more cases that NY and less than a third of the deaths. California and Florida have even better outcomes thus far.

People can get on the states opening but I think they just recognize there is no guarantee of a vaccine and they want to try the have the best economy possible while trying to maintain the best safety practices. Seems like the smarter approach then shutting down and continuing to add to the state tab. Some of those Northeastern states are lucky they have the benefit of Wall Street yet are still running enormous tabs.
Tough Call  
Lines of Scrimmage : 8/13/2020 7:15 am : link
You have the physical toughness of San Fran and the magnificent clutch throws.

The mental toughness of the Frozen Tundra and Brett Favre.

The exceptional smarts of dealing with a Belichick coached defense.

Proud of them all and they seemed to do what was needed to get the job done. All were done without having a home game.
Sorry

This,

The selective outrage of what gatherings can and cannot be allowed during Covid is a difficult argument to support.
The NFL needs to step in on this  
Rudy5757 : 8/13/2020 9:22 am : link
either teams are allowed to have fans or they are not. The thing about COVID is that it is an airborne virus. It travels through airflow. The more people you have the greater the risk that players and fans will come into contact with someone who has the virus.

Good to know. But the only Cowboy fans I've seen at games have been on the road. I think most of them live near MetLife.
