What will Miami football look like in the fall?

What will Miami football games look like in the fall? The first and biggest questions on everyone’s minds revolve around if there will be football games being played. Let’s just assume for the purpose of this commentary the games will be played.

Before it’s remotely possible to play Miami football games there is a need for protecting all of those involved in the process. Obviously this includes the players but also the coaches, the referees, the team staff, the team doctors, the stadium staff and so on.

Most likely players would have to be tested on a constant basis. This would include a week before the games and the day of the games. If there is one person who is asymptomatic the end result could be exceedingly dangerous.

As fans, we have to keep in mind that while this is a game we enjoy watching and for the players, this is a game they enjoy playing, safety comes first. For all the players and the coaches and others involved the game cannot be played at the cost of putting people’s lives at risk.

Now if we can assume that there are games to be played the question is are they going to be played in front of fans? Are they going to be played in empty stadiums? Are they going to be played in stadiums with a limited amount of fans physically separated?

There is an overwhelming sense of people wanting to get back to life as they remember it but how do you go to a Miami football game where there are 50, 60, or 70,000 fans packed into a small stadium? I think it’s a given for everyone that going into crowded places will mean wearing facemasks and gloves.

How would this work for tailgating? For many tailgating is much of the fun. Will they serve food? Will people feel safe? If every person in the stadium had to be six feet apart then given the current seating arrangements he would be extremely challenging.

Of course, all of this goes away once there is a vaccine but it is safe to say there is no chance of that by September. Even if the vaccine was developed today that worked at so would need to be tested on a large scale and then produced on a massive scale. For this reason, finding a safe way to put players on the field is challenging.

Even with a group of a few hundred people with proper testing, it could be relatively safe. Without proper safety protocols, there’s no way to let players on a field unless we can be sure they are safe.

After reading probably 200 articles on the Coronavirus topic and being exceedingly optimistic 24 months from now I continue to question what a football game would look like in just four months from now? How does the Miami football team even conduct practices?

If it is safe to play, how to can there be a meaningful quantity of stadiums with many fans. It could be very possible that only smart enough of widely scattered fans are permitted. This raises the question of who gets to go?

It also raises the question of who wants to go? Ultimately well much comes down to testing for the fall it’s a struggle to determine how to safely play a game but given so many fans you’re to watch Games from the 80s 90s and 2000s if there’s any such thing as like football the fans are ready.

Player safety comes first of course but we are all ready. Can we safely play Miami Football games? Let’s hope so. We are all ready to get back to normal and for football season but the safety of everyone has to come first.
