Team announces season ticket holder options

CouchCoach · Jul 30, 2020

Right now, it's really unknown because we're seeing spikes in daily deaths and FL, home to 3 teams, has set records for 3 days in a row. CA, with 3 teams will not allow anything more than 25%, if that, and NYC has already said no fans for those 2 teams.

I don't think some are considering the impact of after the game and the number of people those fans come into contact with and therein lies the real problem. Have an outbreak that starts to shut the city down again and cost more jobs that can be traced back to a football game and this is not going to go well for sports and the NFL in particular since they own the greed award.

Add to this that just today, they predicted the Midwest is the next wave of this based on their model and that looks to be peaking about the time the season is supposed to start.

Here's the problem, jobs and the economy, not attending sports. We must protect that first and foremost as this country just had it's worst quarterly GDP in history, let that sink in, history. Think we can stand much more of that? And getting kids back in school is critical to the economy as well.

We cannot risk setting the economy back anymore or any more 1M+ unemployment claims a week for 18 straight weeks. Let's get as many back to work and back in school as possible before we start thinking about non-critical parts like attending football games.

The New Normal is life as we knew it is on hold and we need to grasp that and work with it. If we do not take the preemptive temporary steps then we risk some very permanent problems for many of our fellow citizens.

We have already proven we were not up to the task of handling this. What makes anyone think they are now. Putting people in crowds is one of the worst all time ideas.

I’m no longer a season ticket holder but if given that option for “store credit” or future tickets, I’m not sure that’s gonna do it I would want a full refund. Man this is a mess.

I was just reading the details on the opt-out for the players and that’s not all that acceptable either. It’s a stipen a loan, you basically sit twitteling your thumbs for a year And that money they pay you is your own money on future contracts. If I’m a player and you try and lop of 150k of the next play year....I’m not cool with that. The tricky thing with those season tickets is the seat option, you don’t want to lose your seats, but the fans shouldn’t be the ones taking risks here.

Your after the game theory does not fly.
Places are already restricted, bars are closed. Where are these people going got go after the game. To infect anyone or get infected. All places are required to wear masks.
You are making it like the people going to games are all infected and will congregate to infect others.
That does not make any sense as I said, where will they go. Most will go home just as they used to do.

It has nothing to do with your economic stuff

exactly. i've soured from going on games for a while now for just those reasons. couple it w/ putting myself and family at risk? yeah, hard pass.

Don't know your age but I crossed this threshold sometime back. I weigh everything involved in any event, any inconveniences, before committing to it and that was before this virus showed up.

I am spoiled. Got that big screen, great sound system, comfortable seating, my dogs, better food and hooch than they serve at a hell of a lot better price, can watch another game if this one sucks, have a stogie on the patio and continue watching the game, cuss as much as I want and don't have to admit I would have been better off just staying home and watching the game. Best part for me is I don't have to think about trying to get out of the lot and deal with the traffic going home. Traffic on my own time is wasting life.

It's all about return on investment to me. And it just stopped being worth it at some point.

Things can’t get better without having a better national plan than we’ve had to this point, which has basically alternated between, “It’s going to magically disappear at some point”, to “We just need to learn to live with it” and open everything up. Until we get a better plan of action that is based on what we know to this point instead of what we wish, things will take much slower to recover than they have to.

not worth opening at 25% half minimum because lie restaurants they cant bring in staff and concessions etc and make it worth turning on lights/ac for 25..i see many restaurants around here that offer inside dining didnt open at 50% they want 75 -100 to staff for dining area.. so it will be 50-75 to make owners even allow fans..

They are gonna do it to get butts in seats. This is the NFL. They are above the law.

I am buying season tickets to your house. We will get tested and cleared before each game.

completely agree. I'm 40. the only reason i've even considered going to a game in the past 5-7 years is to take my son. and then i thought, do i really want to induct him into this misery club? lol

That's on Sunday, where do they go on Monday and the rest of the week?

My economic stuff is all that does matter. We have to prioritize the musts and going to a game is not a must. Going to work or school, that is a must.

I think it shows the level of irresponsibility we have to even consider sports while our economy is growing weaker. We've already mortgaged some of the future and they're getting ready to do it again and we are no closer to getting back to working on the real problem, the economy.

With a pandemic going on, I wouldn't go to a game if they paid me.

I would immediately apply mines to the 2021 season hopefully by that time Corona is just a memory

TheSkaven · Jul 30, 2020

This thread belongs in the coronavirus zone, where every thread is the same - a bunch of self righteous people trying to tell other people what they can and cannot do.

I haven’t missed a season since 1996 and I’ll be there for the first home game. Hope that I can get some good seats.

Bullet, there is also another level to this which was always in the background, if they open it will we come? This haphazard reopening in Texas had a backlash effect, trust was the victim.

The trust of this country's citizens in it's leadership is the lowest in my lifetime. The virus is one enemy; the response is a worst one. We don't know who to believe and this country has become one huge social media mess. The name of the game is discredit anyone and everyone. Don't like the message? Bring the messenger down regardless of the presence of motive.

When did patience and tolerance become the enemy of freedom and rights? Until people really buy into and believe that "we are all in this together", we are nothing more than an ally to this virus.

yes the main problem and concern is the overall economy and health. Millions more of people go other places on Monday, and throughout the week, like work. Stores. The small amount of people going to games on a Sunday has no more impact to where they go on Monday. More so than anybody else, such as grocery store workers, schools, if they open back up, or people going to eat.

you are making it out to be the ones going to games are the issue. They are not.

as I stated there are millions And millions more going out to do other Other things compared to a football game. may as well make it a law to keep every one inside according to your theory’s.

Bowdown27 · Jul 30, 2020

Nfl already announced you have to wear masks at stadiums that allow fans. But who knows how that’s gonna go once someone takes off the mask.

Just like I thought, season ticket holders will be given the option to apply it to future tickets. However it seems any refunds will be in the form of the original payments. As opposed to asking for it in writing.

It does not say what a seating capacity will be, if any.

Also they will have the right to purchase single game seats, if they do not want to keep what they have for all games.

And you are not assured that the single game tickets are those of your season tickets. Basically, a season ticket holder will simply be able to buy before the general public whatever tickets/seats are available.

At least one won’t have to deal with those dang Party Pass fans.

People want to get out, and go do things. In my area, half way between Dallas and FW, just north of Arlington, places are packed even at 50%.
Fast food lines are 5 to 10 deep at times.
Chic-Fil-A's are 15 cars deep or more with two drive through lanes. Some cars are backed up on the side of the access roads from highways.

Walmart and other stores parking lot are half full. People will go to games and fill it up to whatever capacity they deem safe. Which right now, most places are at 50% no matter what venue.
Except bars are closed. Don't even get me started on that mess.

UM NO MANY DID NOT OPEN THE DINING ROOM OR OPENED FOR A FEW WEEKS AND WHEN RETRSCITONS CAME RECLOSED..

im saying business owners did nit see making it worth opening with extra staff..yes take out and drive through but NOT INSIDE..

There is no way in hell 75% is happening. Even if there were a vaccine by then (and there won't be), that number would make no sense. Teams are going to have to get by with 25-50% max, if there are any fans at all.

they wont open stadium sat 25% so 50 or more or no fans..i know this like area restaurants did not reopen at 50 because its not worth it to them from a business sense..
