I have been cautiously optimistic, hoping that I could plan a trip to Ferrum to see the Spring edition of Panther football. I have definitely missed the black and gold on the football field, and like so many people am beyond frustrated with all of the adjustment to normal we have had to make.
My question was simple.....are fans going to be allowed at football games? Yesterday, I got my answer........no. Well, there will be arrangements made to accomadate a very small number of family members, but that is about it. The athletic department is doing the right thing. This is still a very dangerous virus, and while all of us want to be at the game, the safety of the student body, the athletes, coaches, and anyone else there has to be first priority.
They will livestream the games, so I will have to settle for that.....heck, Friday nights in February to watch football.....my recollection is that metal bench in the stands may just be a little cold. I can't remember the last time I saw the football team wearing any kind of cold weather gear, but we may see it in a couple of weeks. Stay warm, watch it online, and stay healthy by doing so.
While I am disappointed, it is not worth the risk, and I agree totally with the decision.
