How many folks get in for game 1?
I'm going with 6,476

What 6k in the fall? No way, it’ll be way more by then. I could see a scenario where we could go back to full capacity, of course people will have to feel comfortable enough to come back and Americans need to get vaccinated, but I would imagine by then we can get way more then 6k in.HookedonGriz said:Game 1 in spring - zero (since spring isn’t happening)
Game 1 in fall - 6k ish

They're saying that the vaccine works on the new strain!dupuyer griz said:New COVID strain in Colorado now so, I’m 2-3 years we may get to be back in again.
New Governor may have something to say about that.MikeyGriz said:If it's left up to the Missoula County Health Board? None, ever.

Unfortunately, the way our laws are written the Governor has less power than Bullock claimed. The power is really vested in the County/City Health Boards, and they are only answerable to the respective City/County Commissioners. This may be the best opportunity that Missoula has to kill Griz football, and do you really think they will pass it up?

Not true. State law provides local county health boards may not be more restrictive than the governor

Local health can be no less stringent than State Regulations (has nothing to with the governor) and there is process to allow local health to be more restrictive.
Brother Bear said:There has got to be a way to do rapid testing for fans that want to pay extra to go see Griz games. Let people into the stadium at a reduced capacity and make masks mandatory for fans wanting to see the game in person. Couldn't fans do temperature checks and basic screening in addition to rabid testing?
Didn't most health care workers already get the vaccine or first responders? Why not let them into Athletic contests as a thank-you, or a reduced rate for revenue coming in. If you have had the Vaccine and can show your CDC card, why not be able to watch the game and still wear a mask, etc?
Seems like there should be some ways to make this work this spring.

Lets hope it don’t come to that.

Nope. Go read the state statute.

The prohibition against more restrictive regulations applies to 50-2-116(1)(k), (2)(c)(iii), or (2)(c)(iv) - sewage, wells, discharge from sewage treatment plants and tattoo parlors.

Nope try again
I think that's overly pessimistic. While there are some unfavorable drivers (e.g., aging fanbase, more TV) depressing attendance, fans having their football and tailgates withheld may make them all the more hungry. Attendance figures are readily available on the NCAA website. Several factors affect average attendance, home schedule quality, weather/road conditions, and whether there were home playoff games, which have always produced subpar attendance, depressing the averages. So here are your 10 years:BozAngelesGriz said:attendance was trending down before Covid. the 2017 season saw the lowest levels in the previous 10 years, and while 2018 was up a bit (can't find the numbers for the 2019 season?) unfortunately i don't see us getting back to previous peak levels for a long time...if ever. people just aren't watching sports in person as much. when full attendance is allowed (be that this fall or the following year) i would expect average attendance around 17-18k. people will be 'out of the habit' of going to games, so to speak. i'll still be there.
