Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.

Yeah I feel ashamed for getting sucked into this nonsense in the first place. Clearly we all have our own agendas and opinions that aren't going to be changed by typing into the void of the internet.
UNIDad, I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy during this time. This must be a difficult time with your wife being at serious risk if infected. I'm sure you've all been cautious and responsible, fingers crossed that others in your area will be too.

I fully expect the state mandated 50% capacity rule to be higher by fall.
The 50% is related to season tickets. Personally, I think it is just a ploy by Pollard to sell more season tickets. There was a lot of wiggle room for having more or less capacity. But I'll bet it has gotten the phones ringing at the Ticket Office.
P.S. Nothing has been said about seating. I assume that fans can sit in their designated seats or go where there is more open space if they want.

football is coming back because the colleges need the money. If it doesn’t, many of the smaller schools in the Group of five would shut down their programs as well as nearly all FCS schools (including UNI). This is also a prelude to the BCS conferences finally breaking away from the NCAA to officially form their own “company.”

i don’t think people will be getting their same seat. If they are going to do that, then why have it at 50% capacity. Like restaurants and other places that are opening at 50%, they still will have to maintain social distancing somehow. Restaurants will have tables removed or mannequins In booths to reflect social distancing. I don’t know how stadiums will do it, especially when it should be two seats (Minimum) empty Between fans.

Pollard said on KXNO yesterday that they aren't moving anybody. If you're uncomfortable in your seats you can go sit somewhere else. Its a logistical nightmare to move people around and try to be 'fair'.If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

Pollard says they will be very open about the "mitigation efforts" they use, but also that they are not pretending to eliminate all risk. If you come, you are accepting the risks that remain.
Perhaps one slight difference between a stadium and a restaurant is that you tend to know who is going to be sitting near you. In a restaurant, you usually have no idea who is at the next table.
At 50%, there will be crowded areas and uncrowded areas to which you can move if you don't want to be crowded.
I suspect that they will allow much more than 50%. Pollard's high profile right now may have as much to do with selling tickets while there is a sense of limited supply.

"NCAA considering six-week timeline for college football’s return
More and more, it looks like the ramp-up to what officials hope is a full college football season will begin in mid-July.
Yahoo Sports reported last week that the NCAA Division I football oversight committee was leaning toward a six-week preseason camp, about two weeks longer than the normal beginning to the season.
NCAA approval could come the middle of this month, according to Yahoo."
Entire read:
"Well, that escalated quickly."
