This of course assumes the University and the Atlantic 10 would be OK with this. I have a funny feeling that decision may be highly influenced depending on who is in that game. if we are in it, I would propose allowing students to go to the games for the simple fact that they are on campus and contact tracing could be done very easily. It also avoids political wars around which season-ticket holder‘s get tickets and which ones don’t. not to mention, as discussed on another thread, they could basically say to students, here are your seats, there are no concessions, no bells and whistles, you get in, watch the game, route like hell, and get out. if they allow season-ticket holders, they will want the flight deck open, and all of the amenities they are used to. That’s just my opinion though.

Here’s a link to a Cincinnati Inquirer article on Zavier’s request for increased seating capacity.

Neil was supposedly going to request the same variance but it appears that he didn’t, since I believe these requests are rubber stamped once they pass local muster. That said, this article gives you insight into what the maximum attendance at UD Arena would be.
Note - has anyone else been to a game this season to gauge what actual attendance has been? As I posted earlier, the attendance at the
LaSalle game was 125 - at best.
