The First Domino Has Fallen

New York Jets and New York Giants won't allow fans at Met Life Stadium for their home games this coming season.

It wouldn't surprise me if the NFL doesn't allow fans, but makes me wonder about artificial crowd noise in the stadiums. Both Kansas City and Seattle have the loudest stadiums, so I wonder if they'll allow either of them to have louder crowd noise based on how loud their crowds get. Seeing the MLS games, I know that they are allowing artificial crowd noise but not the sound of the chainsaw for Portland.

I love this screenshot, little AB vs Navy.

That is awesome.

It's an odd quirk of mine, but I have trouble watching leagues that don't resemble the NFL/NCAA - things like IFL/AFL/CFL don't do a whole lot for me (although I'm coming around). Just nice to know what to expect before I try watching it.

Then there's European Football which resembles soccer more than football, that one has always confused me.

Odd unless more significant news is to come since there's no apparent downside to VMD.

That's what I thought too, not sure why they'd postpone it. Maybe they have some other announcement to make and wanted to push it out a little longer? Who knows.

Yes, that's so. https://twitter.com/i/status/1284340698939105281

My understanding is that the weight restriction is the only "rule" difference between sprint football and traditional football - is that so?

I've always wanted to check it out regardless, it sounds interesting.

Anyone hear of the NCCAA's plans for football? I know they are different being that some of their members hold dual membership with other associations, but they've made no updates since April.

They are the last association with football we've yet to hear from in any capacity. The ACCA has also made no mention of COVID, but does not sponsor football.

Not much of a shocker here, but it's expected that most NFL prospects in the high rounds will sit out a spring season.

NAC (DIII?) announces fall sports have been cancelled.

I did somewhere else but I don't think so on this thread. Better to do it twice than not at all. The CAA did for football this morning, and Towson for all fall sports.

This is all happening so fast that it's hard to keep track of.
