In a year of complete **** and a lot of misery, I was hoping to get a little normalcy and attend a playoff game...maybe even have a little fun for a change but I was stupid to think PA decision makers would care anything about enjoyment of life.

Yes, there are more important things to worry about about nothing in the past 10 months or so has been normal.. asking for 5,550 fans in a stadium that holds 66,000 is not much to ask.

I want to win the game Sunday but if we lose at some point before the SB, for the first time ever, I won't be that disappointed.. I won't miss this season.

Hopefully next year is different but I doubt it.

God forbid the governor might allow one person per eleven seats at an outdoor venue...oh, the humanity!

What an *******.
 
This is so stupid, I coach highschool girls soccer in the fall, and we were allowed fans at every game, home or away in a far more confined area that Heinz Field.
 
you can have 50% capacity of a restaurant IN DOORS now, but an outside event in a 68K stadium . . no go. Not even 5K fans. You can't take a dump in PA w/o a mask on, but God forbid, they lax the ridiculous shutdown for a PO game.
 
Not a single fan for what could be Ben's last playoff home game.. such a damn shame.

Republican or Democrat, both decisions are backed by nothing but just having the power to do what they want.

The problem is not the party in power.

It is the politicians that can simply "mandate" whatever they "think" or want or get advised to do, with zero recourse in the short term.

Around the globe, you have this circle jerk of political leaders all pointing at the next country/state/county as justification for WTF they deem. Somewhere, soon I hope, this will be broken by the will of the people, and some normalcy will be restored.

They scream “Follow the science” then ignore the datapoints For whatever fits their agenda... both sides do it... politics should be illegal... Its not hard...its been done before. come up with a mathematical percentage of expected transmission risk... find the extremely low percentage of probability, calculate numbers from that...

Its not like the CDC pulled six feet out of Their ***... thats a tried and true distance rounded up to the nearest foot that large respiratory droplets fall out under normal conditions... its been studied... it can be repeated

Outside has a greater air volume and flow... there is a lesser chance of transmission there... again all known science... this is the governor once again deciding what he considers important and banning what he does not... its completely and totally making rules based on subjective opinion and its not something that tends to hold up in court
 
They've presented zero data that stadiums are problem areas for spreading Covid. If they were, you better believe it would be all over the news because they look for whatever controversy they can get. It's outdoors, it's physically distances, and you have masks on. Ridiculous that this is deemed too dangerous. I attended the three games fans were allowed and can tell you there was no issue staying 6 ft away. There was no one on the sidewalks outside the stadium, barely anyone in the concourses and restrooms, and plenty of room in the seating bowl. Yet there are a ton of things permitted right now that are indoors and don't come remotely close to spacing people out like they do at Heinz Field. It's ridiculous and there is no data the justify 2,500 as the "safe" number.
 
I thought for sure there would be some fans. So actually a HOME playoff game isn't actually a home game. Imagin when we travel to Kansas City to play, we will have a bigger home field advantage there than the home field advantage we have at home. Think About that....

I'm not saying more fans than KC fans I'm saying more fans at an away game than a home game.........


Upo da would "****** UP this is"

If this game were played in Cleveland, I guarantee we'd have a nice amount of Steelers fans there.. definitely a better atmosphere.
 
Well the UK shut down again. And the strain that they are currently dealing with is even more contagious. It's also already here. You want to slow it. Reduce crowd size.

Should see a spike in cases nation wide from DC in 10 days.

Heinz Field at 8% capacity was not going to result in a spike of cases.

*No tailgating
*Barely anyone on the sidewalks or streets outside of the stadium. I walked the entire length of the North end zone outside the stadium for one game this year without seeing another fan.
*Minimal people waiting at the gates at 6-ft apart. It's safer than waiting in line at Walmart.
*Concession areas are not crowded.
*Bathrooms are not crowded.
*Limited capacity at the Steelers store (no different than any other store).
*Seating bowl has fans at least 6-ft apart with masks and a constant breeze bringing in fresh air.
*Zero data-based evidence that limited capacity crowds at NFL games have been superspreader events.
