I think if you head over to Beaver Stadium and throw yourself down and have your little temper tantrum in the middle of lot 41 (old red), you just might get the attention you so desperately appear to seek. You still won't get a spring game though. But you will get attention.
Not my cup of tea. Sounds like you have experience with that kind of behavior.
So do you think it easy to plan an event with a potential of 40k people visiting in a town of 42k? In reality there is a lot of logistical hurdles and coordination that need to be done. First responders are brought in from around the state. These people are already spread thin and you think it easy to throw together this event in a few weeks? I work for PSP and budgets, programs projects have been cut like crazy because of the pandemic. Do you think they will be thrilled to provide 100s of officers at overtime without charging for a practice? Imagine what the event security company going to charge to bring in security people on short notice? They have a hard enough time finding people to work normally how about now in a pandemic? Same with vendors, parking attendants and other stadium workers. So while it is easy to be a keyboard tough guy and say they should do this in reality hosting this event is a lot more work and expense then the benefit from it.
OSU hasn't even announced yet their plans fan wise. So no it not really putting Penn State at a disadvantage. Considering the NCAA extended the dead period until May 31 schools will not be allow to host recruits so I doubt there any disadvantage.
He is a complete joke.Seniors will get to attend a practice next weekend.
Somehow Baron kept a straight face when saying seniors couldn't attend this week due to health protocols.
Penn State to welcome senior class for a spring football practice on April 23
This Saturday will actually not be the Lions’ final set of drills in April.www.pennlive.com
Logic? What logic? If it’s so complicated, call Ohio State, or Nebraska, or most other schools and ask how they do it? It just an excuse to prolong this a bit longer.Geez, another message board logic warrior. We’ll have none of that here!
Mild disadvantage. But it is a kick in the nads to the local businesses. And with zero logic behind it. Newsflash: games have been played with fans since fall and some are now at 100% capacity. If there was even a hint that this was a superspreader issue, the fear porn media would be all over it like white on rice.
Shazam, magically another “practice” is appearing next week. This one for seniors. But are not people at risk?
So when I go up and support them by spending and they get rich, I'm the cause of that, too? In that case, what's my share?
Have no idea what point you are trying to make. I was encouraged to go to State College and support local business on dates other than football games. I simply stated that I do, but some only go when there is a game.
i am watching the OSU game, and the first half is normal spring with second half being no contact. looks like around 25k with band and nice atmosphere. I am not sure when they decided to do this, but I know in early Feb is was still not sure direction.
How many of those are located In such rural areas doing it on such short notice? Most of the schools who are going ahead with crowds are in areas that have been open for months now.
Lots of businesses EVERYWHERE have been harmed by the pandemic. State College businesses are no different. The notion the PSU football has some duty to them which requires them to do something the coach thinks is a bad idea is horsesh!t.
Uummmnnnnn.... they been doing it for decades. Maybe by now they know how to do it.
Lol, such compassion! I got mine so screw them! Great look for King Lib.
When I was in school, the Burrough was passing a tax on tickets to Beaver Stadium and the BJC to account for all of the extra “pollution and wear & tear on the roads” due to the inconvenience of people outside the community coming in for events. So, aren’t they getting their wish now?
Where’s my share? Really? If you spent money at some place of business it was a mutually beneficial transaction. You decided their goods or services was worth a percentage of your hard earned cash reserves. They decided your payment was fair for their goods and services. Since you both agreed to that transaction, you both benefitted or one of you would have refused. That benefit is your share.
Don’t blame the business owners for making money if people continue to pay for it. That’s just smart. In sales, I was taught to keep increasing the price until the customer says UNCLE! Maybe some people value the experience at those prices. For the brands most hotels represent they are in very good shape. Our owners reinvest in their product. They are not bandits. No hotels have closed. In fact, several parties have looked into building. This area will bounce back very quickly once the summer roles around. Top three economic drivers are now education, sports, and tourism. Look out for a lot of travelers once the powers embrace it.
I don't believe I read or heard a reason for no television coverage.
Given this is a dead period how exactly does not having the traditional Blue White game hurt recruiting?
Considering neither Beaver Stadium nor the BJC are in the Borough, that would not be accurate.
