More than 65,000 fans packed a stadium in Tampa to watch Tom Brady lead the Buccaneers to a win in the NFL’s season opener, just hours after President Joe Biden announced a sweeping new plan to slow the latest COVID-19 surge.
Most people at the open-air stadium Thursday night didn’t wear masks. There was no vaccine requirement for fans, something Biden has urged sports and entertainment venues to impose. Many other football stadiums are taking a similarly lax approach to pandemic measures this fall, and that worries health experts.
This fall’s crowded college and professional football stadiums could create ripe conditions for COVID-19 to spread among unvaccinated fans, experts say.
The risk of catching or passing a virus that has infected more than 40 million people in the United States will depend on where the stadium is and whether the game is outdoors, among other factors.
HOW RISKY ARE STADIUMS?
It’s difficult to predict how many COVID-19 cases might develop from a single event. That depends partly on infection rates where the venue is located and how many people are vaccinated.
The highly contagious delta variant has triggered a surge in infections this summer that just recently started to taper. The seven-day rolling average for daily new cases in the U.S. sits at about 150,000 after starting September above 167,000, according to Johns Hopkins University.
At those rates, it is “basically a certainty” that there will be at least one infected person at any gathering of a thousand people, epidemiologist Ryan Demmer said.
Many football stadiums seat 60,000 fans or more.
“At any sort of large event like at a football stadium, without question there will be many infected people there,” said Demmer of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.

Check out the US Open tennis tournament in Queens NYC.
Packed stadium, hardly as mask in sight.
Kaiser Wilhelm will be unhappy.

AP is terrorist news network.
Or crowded, unprotected borders with tens of thousands of illegals entering the country illegally.
They want the “F&CK JOE BIDEN” chants to STOP, this is to scare the powers that be, into cancelling them
The writer hasn’t been to a Trump rally lately.
FEAR AND SMEAR

AP is American Pravda
Do you MinorityRepublican believe this story is true?
During the worst strict lockdowns and bars closed you could still see De Blasio and his wife in close ranks with anti-American BLM marchers. But requests by priests and rabbis and ministers to have 6 ft apart congregations gather met with “Are you out of your mind? That’s a superspreader. Irresponsible and illegal.”
Question: How can tens of thousands of football fans (I am not one) show their devout idolatry to Floyd and other fallen BLM icons if they can’t get to the stadium to kneel? Kneel at home in front of the TV? Maybe.
I believe everyone agrees on that point....except Dr. Fauci who still thinks 2 masks could do the trick.
In the meantime, that same doctor also said that CLOTH masks are pretty useless. The little blue masks are better.
Sounds like Tom Murphy of the Associated Pravda is pooting in his little diaper with concern over this.
Of course it's NY and Fauci and Cuomo are BFF so we did not hear a thing about it being a super spreader.
High tech digital image isolation available today means authorities zeroed in on each face in that photo and results showed all had CDC approved masks and were carrying little cards saying they got two jabs.
If you believe that you think Americans all love to give up their freedoms to Fauci and Biden without hesitation.
No sir.
