... with gloves and a mask
OK, now that I got that line out of the way, I'm curious about how other SPH are handling allocating their tickets this year. I heard from my rep that the Nats have applied to DC to start allowing attendance. No specific numbers and obviously a negotiation, but what would you do if, say, DC OKs 10-25% attendance with masks and maybe proof of injection or recovery from infection, or rapid tests, or sniffer dogs, or some other means of assurance to limit spread opportunities?
I have 20+ in my full-season group of 4 seats in the NS Club, so it is a small section, mostly season ticket groups, and you pass through narrow indoor corridors to get to/from seats. In West Palm, it seems they've opened with the concept of seating "pods" that are 2-6 seats with distance from other pods that a group in contact with each other caan obtain. I could see the Nats trying that, but if they have more than 20,000 SPH, they could not give you tickets to every game and still maintain reasonable distance unless they are tetris masters. I do not see DC allowing that, at least in April - May.
In my mind, I've thought that there will be very few fans in before the all star break (10% or less), and maybe looser rules after mid-July when large percentages should have had an opportunity for their shots. Based on that, I have not bothered my ticket group about allocating early seats, and if we get a chance to go to some games early, ad lib and email my members.
What other approaches are people who renewed / bought taking? Anyone else with a large group thought about this?
