My friend Scott sent me a link to this story about the NFL owners plan to keep players "safe" from the Rona. It would involve the first eight rows of seats being covered by advertising tarps, which means Ms. B and me would have no seats this season. I called the Chiefs this AM and talked to a ditzy customer service chick "Sorry, I just started this week..hee hee..." and she said the NFL had mandated this, and they're still trying to figure out what to do for ticket holders who are affected. Besides the first eight rows, many other fans will lose their seats too in order to affect "social distancing." I think this whole thing will be a giant cluster F. There's no way they're going to be able to control who sits next to whom and where in Arrowhead. Who gets chosen to keep their seats, and who gets booted? I told ditzy chick that those fans in the first eight rows along the field level will be some of their longest tenured and most loyal fans, because it takes a long time to get enough seniority to get seats in that part of the stadium. She said we'd all be receiving an "official email" once they determine what the policy will be. My feeling is if they play games it will have to be with no fans, period. Just don't see any other way to do it fairly. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/n...z0-WOKY5t_OPgg [Reply]
Yeah, I saw this too. I'm pretty sure Mrs B and I am going just apply our 2020 money to 2021. I'm of the belief that there will be no fans at the regular season games. I just don't see how they can manage the social distancing, especially the security clearance points at the entry gates. That's always a mosh pit.
I think MLB will be a test case as to whether teams can gather and play without the Rona running crazy through the ranks. Just too soon to tell what's going to happen. [Reply]

A game at Arrowhead without fans.....reminds me of the late 70's/early to mid 80's
I would sign a waiver to have sex with an HIV infected, crackhead, COVID carrying Chief's cheerleader if it meant I got to sit on the 50 yard line in the front row to watch Patrick Mahomes in Arrowhead.
