We don't have reserved seating areas out here. Bleachers only. And how would you handle the ticket sales? Gate, first come first served? Online advanced ticket sales only by lottery? This is gonna be a mess.
That's probably wishful thinking, but I hope you are right. I would expect somewhere between 10-25% to start with.
I think it's 250 spectators. (Players and coaches are considered participants if I understand correctly)
Don't you have any easy questions? You know, like the formula for lasting world peace???
VA & NC have been kind of mirroring one another during this pandemic, so that would be great if we had 40% and maybe a bump up mid April for the playoffs.
That sounds good and all but you’d be surprised at the number of families who could careless. Sad but true.
Doesn't James City County restrict their varsity football roster to 45 players? This may not sound like a big deal, especially these days, but many schools in Class 3 and 4 still get 60 to 100 kids to come out. Why restrict it to 45? To save a few bucks on equipment cost? I can understand a restriction on how many travel to away games, but to just be on the roster? Do they limit the number of band members? I doubt it. Just think about the money they could save on tubas and xylophones if they restricted band size!!!
From what I understand there will be no cheer or bands. Athlete families can get their tickets pre game at the school via their players.
During normal seasons there is a restriction on varsity , no restriction on JV, so in total there are 80-90 players in full uniform. The idea is to get as many actually playing in some manner snd not bench warming. I know of no restrictions on band membership but I’ve never seen any Bay Rivers band at an away game. This year JV is not playing, it is eliminated so I have heard that varsity is increasing the number of players by a fair amount.
In all the games in my area I have been to over the years, an hour before game time very few spectators have arrived, most are late arriving. No need to “camp out”.
He specifically asked about 250 tickets, not your 750 situation. In most areas, the demand would exceed 250. Which would lead to camping out if you forced people to line up at gate as you proposed.
Maybe in your area not in Williamsburg, York Co or a number of Southside 3A or 4A schools from what I have seen, even with a 250 limit. But remember in my proposal you can buy pre-game at the school to avoid any lines and ensure availability. If the demand is very high in one area the tickets would all be sold pre game and not at the gate.
