promotherobot Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 New York State will allow 10% capacity at indoor arenas. That means 600 fans at Alumni Arena (assuming we play anymore games.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynBull Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 With three home games left on the schedule for both (not counting rescheduled games), I would hope not. Despite all of the testing on campus for that few games and the number of people needed to work games is it worth the risk to players? If this was January, may be. Now, not worth it.

UB05 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Honestly, I’d love to go to a game. Sitting separate from other people and with mask wearing required I’d feel safe enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 If they do, I hope the students get first opportunity to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBoy Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I believe this only applies to arenas with capacities of 10,000 or more so I don't think it impacts us at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think they open it to the public to at least raise some funds for the program. Why? Were you a student at UB? Did you enjoy going to the basketball games? I imagine for the majority if not all people on this board would answer yes to both of the above questions Now as a student how would you feel if the school opened ticket sales and told you had to pay or that you can't go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clodney Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I have to agree with Tee4three. The students pay a far heavier price than most fans to subsidize this program and they have been paying that money despite no games happening. They should get first priority. I also think a few hundred students could actually create a home court advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What difference does 10K vs 6K make as long as you scale it correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is aimed professional teams to have fans. The only college that could have indoor fans is Syracuse. Come the fall it will allow fans at additional college football stadiums from last season. I think it will be limited to UB, Syracuse, Colgate, Stony Brook. Army was allowed fans last year because they do not have to follow New York State restrictions.
