Cowboy II Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 -I don't know if significant but the ADept saved some bucks in postage and print going this way -I had no issues with the digital version last season plus it makes getting issued tickets used a whole lot easier so perhaps the blue seats will be more filled with this ticket method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL That's the way it was last year at games. They were pretty strict about the mask going back on quickly. At the open practice they were not strict at all about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has the will to enforce it. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I just made sure to always buy a beer and have it in my hand. It seemed to be a good way to comply, but 05 is right....I would still get an infrequent reminder to pull my mask up essentially between sips from an usher.

SLU is also not in the position of alienating any certain set of fans. There's more to be lost by going above and beyond "legal requirements" than there is to be gained. I've been told the Blues lost major local sponsorship $$$$ due to the policy. I'll let you in the on a little secret: the great majority of people attending the sporting events don't care if vaccination is required or not.

The tracing determined that the spread far more likely occurred in the bars and restaurants the traveling fans visited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
