In an indication of how this pandemic is going, Italy just confirmed a 2020 Grand Prix in Ferrari's home track of Mugello on Sep 13, while the Grand Prix of the Americas in Texas, which was postponed to September was cancelled.

Dana White 'Wouldn't Be Surprised' If Conor McGregor Ended UFC Retirement
 
Second race of F1 season finished, much less exciting compared to the first race, shows what happens when they run the same track two weekends in a row - everyone has a lot more time to go over the stuff and get the setup right - so a lot less predictability leading to a much less interesting race. Still had some nice action close to the end of the race. Interestingly, the F1 Bio-Dome seems to work a lot better than the MLS bubble so far, not 1 positive result since starting the Covid Protocols.
 
This guy (and a power 5 AD) think it's "not happening" as far as college football.
"Take a deep breath, and begin to get comfortable with the idea there’s virtually no chance of playing college football in any recognizable form this fall. Start digesting the notion that the next time we see a college football game could be in more than 13 months, as the sport remains the most unlikely of all the major sports to execute a successful return."

I don't see how you can do college football unless it's like NBA where everyone is quarantined and that is pretty much impossible to do with hundreds of colleges, especially if any of them are actually attending school. I don't think there will be college football til 2023 and that makes me feel bad for the young athletes who were counting on playing. THAT SAID, l think football won't even be a sport by 2050 because it's just not safe (concussions and other injuries) and slowly but surely, parents simply won't let their children play.

NOW YOU TELL ME! I just bet all my savings on the Mars Dust Devils to win the 2051 Super Bowl.

Chicharito does not look like he's in good shape. Looks like a bad DP pickup to me.

He's probably board. He's still a dominate player, I'm sure he'll pick it up. Damn nice save by Clarke on him last night though.
 
20,000 attend NASCAR race in likely largest sports event since pandemic began: report


Approximately 20,000 people appeared to attend the Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn., on Wednesday as NASCAR held its All-Star Race, a local NBC affiliate reported, the largest in-person event since the state banned large crowds four months ago in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The venue can accommodate more than 140,000 spectators, but social distancing measures limited attendance. The privately owned Motor Speedway does not plan to release official numbers, but NBC News reported it was the largest crowd at a U.S. sporting event since March.

i understand that the event was outdoors and can't really be used to translate acceptable social distancing ratios for the return of live basketball events in the future but, 1/7 ratio at bristol would suggest less than 2,770 could be seated for blazer home games next season, barring a vaccine and/or treatments that greatly reduce the severity of the visus.

Interesting question. Assuming that they require that two people from the same "family bubble" sit together, I think that they could get more than that. Here's a chart from Moda Section 112:

I can't be sure if the diagonal distance between pairs of seats in alternate rows is at least six feet, but it ought to be close. Assuming that works, the seating for that section drops from 300 under normal times to 140, or about 46%. That would suggest that they could get around 9,000 in a game.

Nothing about that illustration seems to suggest 46%... in some rows in the illustration, you have 40% and in some rows you have 30%.

But it's not just about seating, it's about people being bunched up in the concourse, bathrooms, etc.

Concession lines, etc. Yep. Its not about the actual seating.

Yeah, bad counting skills on my part. It should be 106 seats vs 300 (35.3%), which would equate to more like 6,700 seats filled.

There'd be some crowd issues in the concourses & bathrooms, but nothing like a regular game night. Masks would be required, obviously. I'm not advocating for that many, just doing some rough figuring.

i think that it would be suites of different sizes rather than one size fits all of seated pairs only, with options of 2-4-6-8-10, with what ever is necessary seating arrangement to accommodate that. i also doubt that the upper area would be opened at all. just my personal doubt in that regard.
i just saw you posted 6,700. i pray we get to that number being considered safe before next season.

You can't monitor that many people sitting on the stadium to wear a mask, and not all of them will keep it on. That seating chart also doesnt allow for 6ft of distance.

Good grief, man, I was just estimating. Maybe it's 30%. I don't know if the Blazers or the State will allow people to attend games before there's a vaccine. There would be problems. OTOH, new information out has some medical researchers saying that there may be no long term immunity from COVID-19 antibodies. Then what?
 
i also doubt there will be any alcohol sales in the rose garden.
