I think it would be great if fans can attend Sox games this year.  I don't think I would go to a game.  Partially due to the risk, but more so because of logistics.  I can't imagine it would be as enjoyable as it should be.

I don't know - if you clean the stadium and just have fans super spread out across the whole stadium, it seems super feasible. The hard part is probably the inefficiency of the concession stands (since you literally are using the entire ballpark to cater to 8K fans. You also presumably would need to be pretty strict in terms of people actually staying in their assigned seats, etc.  

In some ways, it might be awesome, because you have massive amount of space to yourself vs. being crammed at a game. While crowded/sell out games are fun because of the crowd noise, I also very much enjoy being able to go to a ballgame and be able to spread out and not be super crammed/packed in.

Good point.  I would think they'd have to spread out how fans enter the park.  Probably have to have assigned gates and maybe even times for entry.

It's not going to go away.  People who refuse to do anything before a vaccine may have a loooooong boring life ahead.. It could be YEARS for one.

I will relax when it isn’t such a threat, and that may be without a vaccine. But I will not put myself in situations just asking for it, even though I don’t have any of the underlying conditions that are said to make the symptoms worse,  and I also have type O blood which some studies say help the cause.

Shut down concessions.

Manfred got what he wanted. Drag this out until there was no more time, they win. 
 

Ahh but they didn't win. Now they have a potentialbillion dollar grievance hanging over their heads, the loss of millions to the owners in expanded playoffs money all for the savings associated with 8-12 games.

  1. Say it ain't so Joe, please say it ain't so
  2. That's not what I want to hear Joe
  3. Ain't I got a right to know
  4. Say it ain't so Joe, please say it ain't so
  5. I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe
  6. Please tell us it ain't so
  7. They told us our hero has played his trump card
  8. He doesn't know how to go on
  9. We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
  10. But the good old days are gone
  11. The image and the empire may be falling apart
  12. The money has gotten scarce
  13. One man's word held the country together
  14. But the truth is getting fierce
  15. Say it ain't so Joe, please say it ain't so
  16. We pinned our hopes on you Joe
  17. And they're ruining our show
