First show I ever saw was Hershey 1974. Bought tickets at the gate for four and.... we sat on the back side as concert side was sold out. Funny thing is Haas family filmed that show and some vids are on YT. So when I watch I’m thinking we’re in the background somewhere 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doesn't the seating capacity of a venue have a direct effect on social distancing? E.G, skipping every other seat = 3' or every (2) seats = 6'. Most stadiums, like our school's stadium, have sold tickets in pods of 2-4 seats for family members with 6' in between for social distancing. Just curious. 🤔😷🤧 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read so much troll and real news I can't keep it separate sometimes. I don’t think anyone official has said that distance doesn’t matter at all. I can’t imagine anyone credible believing that. How much distance is a different story. I would expect we purposely overestimated it in an abundance of caution in coming up with the original 6 foot number. In any case the point I was trying to make is capacity seems unlikely to be relevant to anything distance does not already cover (though perhaps there are things I’m not thinking of), and i suspect capacity numbers were arrived at based on assumptions about its relationship to distance, even though it seems like a poor proxy for distance, as our situation demonstrates in that DCI fans will not spread be evenly throughout the facility but all clumped into a small part of it.

JimF-LowBari Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I thought venues came up with the capacity based on distance. IOW at x feet of distance we can have so many people Max. Not the other way round of coming up with the number first... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more of an "Original" guy with the 11 herbs & spices*; the extra crispy just adds more flour & added calories. *The secret herb is 'sage'.

In Massachusetts, the Governor announced a capacity of 12% (recently updated to 25%). I don't know how they arrived at that figure. The venues (Gillette, Fenway, the Garden, etc.) took that number and used it along with social distancing guidelines to determine seating capacity. I've attended events at 2 of those facilities. They were selling tickets in groups of 2 and 4. There was plenty of space in between seating pods. I have heard, in-directly, that DCI will be doing something similar (although the numbers in each "pod" may be different). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost always delicious until that time when my dad ordered a bucket and one of the pieces of chicken was filled with worms.
