Fireflies get to have 50% capacity

[robertfootball]

Saw the announcement on Facebook. This is so unfair it’s not even funny. They’re even doing it on a month to month basis, so they’re likely to be at full capacity by this summer. USC needs to seriously revisit the decision about our baseball capacity. We should be at half capacity AT LEAST. Fireflies are even giving you the choice of if you want to sit in socially distance seating or not.

Have they ever gotten close to 50% capacity without reatrictions?

The Fireflies have had multiple sellouts in their history

They've already said they won't add more capacity. Yet they are selling Berm and Coke Pavilion pods, as well as SROs, on gameday (more capacity). But I can't get back to my regular seats because supposedly it's too close to the players on the field. In my 13 years in those seats, I've only had a player land on me once, and have yet to be within 6 feet of a player for more than 15 minutes. 🙄

I don’t understand what they’re doing at all either to be honest.

I'd be willing to bet our bid for NCAAs won't be for full capacity. That would just be par for the course with the way they've done all this stuff this year.

I really wasn’t sure. I’ve been to many games and don’t know that there have ever been more that a couple thousand people and I know the stadium holds 9 thousand. I’m guessing more than 50% capacity is very rare.

So the first game ever and the eclipse game?

I wonder if there is some level of coordination going on with the SEC and conference schools.

I think they had few sellouts, if not near capacity, when Tebow was there

Lightning bugs ...

Baum was at full capacity for their last series, or pretty damn close.

Ole Miss and MSU have both looked packed. I believe TAMU as well.

I find it difficult to believe there is an SEC school with a more draconian attendance policy than us, throughout all the sport teams. Maybe Vandy?

Exactly, and I wish they'd lose every game by 30 runs until they change the name to that.

Ah, touche- forgot about that

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

They were having sellouts and were among the top teams in attendance even after Tebow left

Numbers post Tebow have returned to pre-Tebow attendance levels. It is still well above attendance averages for other Class A affiliates but it’s around a 1k difference from 2017 to 2019.
