Do you think Holycross will allow fans at all this upcoming season

If they do, I paid an awful lot for a bunch of cutouts for naught.  |

I now believe we will see some fans at HC games before the end of the season...but I tend to be an optimist.

I really don’t see any way fans will be allowed at an indoor sporting event in Massachusetts until a significant percentage of the population is vaccinated. That won’t happen until mid-year 2021. Maybe some limited fans at outdoor events in the Spring.

How about this: free admission for anyone presenting his/her "I've Been Vaccinated" National ID Card?

I'm guessing no fans. I'm also guessing no fans for our (outdoor) football games...assuming we have some sort of an abbreviated spring football 'season', of course.

I believe access will continue to be restricted throughout the season.
Watching the University of Hartford/Fairfield game last week, when there was a wet spot on the floor, the ref’s grabbed the mop and wiped up the puddle. UHart did not allow access to the gym for team managers or other volunteer staff.
With the current state of the pandemic, I would surmise only the absolute minimum of personnel will be allowed in an inside venue this season.

At this point I'd be more concerned with how many games will actually be played rather than if any fans will be allowed.

Do we think fans will be allowed back in the winter of 2021 to sports

Yes, unless those Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are fake news.  |

I think there is zero chance of seeing basketball in person this year I predict that in September, I will be grilling in centerfield prior to walking into to a football game in Fitton The question is spring football/baseball. I have no idea of what a football schedule looks like. Baseball normally goes into early May. I think there will be no fans all season. Unlike basketball I'm not saying zero chance. I'm still predicting no generic fans. I'm going on a limb and, based on an early May timeframe, predicting families will see senior day in person. I don't think normal fans will make it in person, but wouldn't be shocked if some were allowed in by early May. DISCLAIMER: Although inaccurate, for purposes of this prediction, I am including Crossporters as being "normal" fans  |

Remember, even being vaccinated has not yet been proven to show that you can't SPREAD the virus. Without that established, even proof of vaccination is IMO not going to be sufficient to get a member of the public into an on-campus event.
There *might* be a chance for students to be allowed into Hart in kind of a campus-wide "bubble" concept. But I think that's a 1% chance, and general public is zero.

Could be some folks think we should wait athletic competitions and attendance until we have a 100% effective and a 100% administered Covid vaccine just to 'err on the safe side' and "in an abundance of caution". Because, "you never know".
At some point, short of those two standards, more rational folks will permit attendance at HC and more rational HC folks will attend.
My guess is there will be socially distanced seating (more than the usual non-Covid sort) permitted at Fitton at some point during the 2021 fall football season. For ordinary fans.

I see it as allowing fans for baseballl in the Spring.
Back to normal with as many fans as possible at Fitton in the fall.

Back to normal with as many fans as possible at Fitton in the fall. sadly fitting avatar, thecrossisback. another franchise - with roots in holy cross athletics tradition - falls victim to ignorant cancel culture. i think sov once said it best that it might not be long before all mascots are fruits and vegetables (except cauliflower). as for the topic of fans, right or wrong, i don't see it happening at hc this year. and almost certainly not for basketball. |

Just because one is "rational", that does not mean that he/she is correct. You can have a rational opinion that is wrong.

No. Folks who think we should wait athletic competitions and attendance until we have a 100% effective and a 100% administered Covid vaccine just to 'err on the safe side' and "in an abundance of caution" are less rational than folks who will permit attendance at HC short of those two standards. As I wrote. |

I do not know of anyone who thinks in terms of 100%.
Silly to argue that.

I do not know of anyone who thinks in terms of 100%. Silly to argue that. We had a completely irrational beach club member who didn’t want our dock and ramp open this summer because of covid. A fellow member (an MD) explained there was almost no chance of catching covid at the (outdoor) dock. The irrational gentlemen basically accused us all of attempting to murder grandpa and insisted we “err on the safe side” and “exercise an abundance of caution”. He was looking for a 100% guarantee. Only possible, BTW, with an elimination of the virus in the States. He still gives us the evil eye for opening (and in his eyes sacrificing grandpa for our selfish boating). I’m sure he’d feel the same way (if not more panicked) about opening campuses, playing sports, attending games, etc with covid around (no matter how unlikely the risk). And I do agree he (and others like him) are silly to argue that. |

To assume that people that want to wait before opening campuses and gyms are like your neighbor is also silly

And you should stop assuming that anyone who disagrees with you is irrational, or holds the same views as your fellow club member. |
