UConn Survey on Attending Games

[jkfer98]

If they wind up having fans attend games this season, I'd imagine they'd play all of their home games at the XL Center, right? Seems like too much of a liability (for both sides) to have outsiders come onto campus.

Makes no sense to pay money to CRDA when there are no fans to make it back. I would expect all UConn's game in state of Connecticut will be at Gampel or Mohegan.

What's PC mean?

Well, that's about as wishy-washy as one could get.

PC? Are you referring to science based preventative measures for a global pandemic that’s already killed over 200k Americans?

Discussed in another thread and thought it deserved it's own thread. MBB and WBB season ticket holders were emailed a survey today asking if they plan on attending games in 2020-2021.

Out of curiosity I was wondering how others on the-boneyard answered the survey. Are you planning on attending or not? I personally picked yes.

No survey but I would answer yes

Preventative as intentionally sending people sick with Covid in nursing homes?

 

[MilliniumPrince]

No for me, but I would be cool with students only at Gampel in very limited numbers with spacing. But I would not want to police that.

I have two people in my life who "survived" Covid. One will never be the same, and the other is only 14 and still dealing with issues months later. I love UConn, but it isn't worth the risk for me this year.

Has UConn announced the spring calendar yet? My guess is that the open in Feb & cancel spring break. If the wanted to extend into lat May.

From Nov 25 to Feb 15 you could hsve no students on campus and get most of the games in.

At Central Connecticut they have already cancelled spring break.

Easy to say when you are in the majority and less likely to be affected.

Very true! I will cheer for you!

That's what the college my son goes to is doing. Schools starts February 2. No spring break. And they stay through finals and get out 2nd week in May. Long haul with no break. I'd imagine most schools will do this.

Almost like work .....except he gets the summer off.

Well that and the 2+ months they're off between semesters. I wish I had those kind of breaks for work!

That did not go well. But what would you have done once the hospital was overcrowded?

 

[UCDaveD]

Nah, I’m good for now. Y’all have fun though. Maybe in 2021.

 

[freescooter]

Not a chance. Just shut it down. A bubble might be ok for the NBA but for college sports it is a terrible idea and playing without fans in some unspecified arena just makes it worse. Plus the CCSUs of the world will not get equal treatment. So it destroys the excitement of the tournament. If it goes that way one team should wear beige the other brown and they can pick names out of a hat to see who the represent.

Correct answer.

 

[AllAbout5]

If I got the survey I'd vote yes, but they have to seriously limit the number of fans.

[gampelcrazies]

Serious question. If they have fans is Big Red opting in or out?

 

[Watchdog]

That did not go well. But what would you have done once the hospital was overcrowded?

In the most egregious example (NY) the hospitals weren't as overcrowded as they originally predicted and only used a handful of the 1,000 beds in the hospital ship sent there, and a very small number of the 2,500 beds set up in the Javits Center.

Navy hospital ship with 1,000 bed capacity sits in New York harbor mostly empty

A US Navy hospital ship currently docked in New York City harbor is treating only 22 patients as of Friday afternoon, despite having a 1,000 bed capacity to treat non-coronavirus patients, according to a US Navy official.

From NPR on April 22:
Fifty-eight percent of the deaths in the state happened in nursing homes in New York City. Those nursing homes, the NPR numbers show, are notable for their high percentages of residents of color.

But even most of the residents who died in facilities in other parts of the state were living in nursing homes that had a high percentage of residents of color. The population in those facilities tend to reflect the demographics of the counties where they were located.
