Masks

[Halldan1]

I know this is enviably going to turn into another Ad nauseum Covid debate with the same points being repeated over and over. And when that happens I will eventually lock the thread.

But for now this news must be shared....

 

[mountain25]

Just lock it now

 

[SPK145]

How many pages will this thread get to??

 

[Halldan1]

LOL.

It's important because it affects all of us that go to the games. But yes, it certainly has the potential to get ugly fast.

Problem is I will be leaving the house shortly and not be back until later this afternoon, So it will linger for a while.

Ahh yes, the masks that have so clearly done nothing to preventthe spread the last 18 months. Maybe this time they’ll work.

Amazing how they constantly double down on stupid stuff.

 

[walshtrips]

Didn't take long to go south. 🤣

Not a big believer in masks, but, have no problem with this policy. Private businesses have every right to enforce policies that they think will keep their patrons safe.

You don't like the policy, don't go.

This is much better than the alternative, shutting out fans.

It'll be interesting to see how this will be enforced once the game starts.

I can't see this thread because I have my mask on...

 

[PirateFan95]

Beer sales will sky rocket

 

[SHUHoopsFan]

Look at the bright side, fans can still attend. I'm just curious can the vaccinated fan who doesn't want to sit with a mask on for 2.5 hours get a refund?

That's a great point.

 

[walshtrips]

That's a great point.

I'll be the guy with my mouth constantly chewing food throughout the game, like a cow in a pasture.

 

[SHU_Pirate1]

You can remove your mask to drink your $14 beer 🍺 lolzzz

 

[HallBall02]

The prudential center hasn’t enforced their previous covid protocols, (mask in and out or show vaccination status) I doubt they will enforce this one either.

Pretzel sales about to go through the roof

 

[STLPirate12]

It'll be very difficult, nearly impossible to enforce effectively. You'll need to wear it entering the building but after that my guess is it's unlikely anybody will say something unless a nearby fan complains. The hope with the rule is that enough fans respect it to make the environment a little safer for everyone. Nobody respects anything these days though.

Do your homework. Go see how much a pretzel costs. People would rather wear a mask than pay for a pretzel. Get real.

Pretzel sales about to go through the roof

I doubt that will be the first choice....lol

 

[SPK145]

I would rather watch from home than wear a mask for the entire game except for special games like Jan 1 against Villanova.

Yes. That’s the joke.

Except this year all games may be special because this team is THAT good

The thing I'll add is that while it can't be effectively enforced on the individual level, if the call is coming from government officials and they don't see enough mask compliance to make them happy, they could then start enforcing capacity restrictions on the Rock again.

It's not really private policy, just to clarify. This was a mandate from the Newark mayor, which all citizens and tenants of the city are expected to comply with.

 

[statenman]

Masks are better than no fans....and the thought of no fans are not that far fetched ....I believe and it is my theory that politicians want to stand behind their vax mandates and will be slow to admit they were wrong. And when I say slow I mean hopefully it's after March madness and the BE tournament

What, at those prices???

lol

We need to stop generating buzz about the pretzels. I went to get one during the 2nd half of the Rutgers game, and they were out of them. Since I'm not a fan of Auntie Anne's, I had to settle for a hot dog.

It has no impact on fan safety.

 

[SHUBK]

At Michigan game they were required and actually did pretty decent job enforcing. I really don’t see big deal with having to wear them personally.

 

[STLPirate12]

Cool. I'm not wasting my time arguing with you.

 

[shufan1993]

I was right this entire time...I warned LOTS a couple months back there will be a mask mandate at the rock...

Are you going to be posting this I was right for the next 4 years? I have 5 years worth of posts of people telling me I was an idiot for saying Willard is a good coach or it was really Whitehead that coached the team. I could spend day and night telling people how wrong they were. Have some class.

Well I warned this pandemic will continue for several years. And it will...

What's the deal with these pretzels? Are they great? Average? Below average? It's hard to get a read.

Depends are you plain, with mustard, or with cheese guy when it comes to your pretzel?

 

[SHUSA]

fyi these things are rarely enforced by staff, i assume its just liability purposes. sometimes you get a power hungry individual being strict.

 

[SHUSA]

btw who has a shu mask? i have 2

 

[chickenbox]

Plain

 

[shu09]

Cool. I'm not wasting my time arguing with you.

Given the two posters who "liked" your post, I'm quite confident in my opinion.

 

[HallBall02]

Shu09 likes his pretzels with a dash of conspiracy and a sprinkle of denial.

thats why I am still in my basement WFH rocking 4 masks and sipping fresh ones thru a plastic straw
