People Are Not Happy Florida State Fans Are Packed Together In Stadium Without Practicing Social Distancing

ABC

Before the start of the college football season, FSU announced they would limit how many fans could attend games to somewhere between 20 and 25 percent capacity at Doak Campbell Stadium to adhere to the CDC’s guidelines on social distancing.

It’s important all of us do our part to ensure we can play football in a way that is safe for our players, coaches & fans this fall. Wear a mask, practice social distancing & wash your hands so we can all enjoy the sport we love very soon. @Coach_Norvell https://t.co/T9AZcN1Io6

While FSU only allowed 19k fans into the stadium for the team’s home opener against Georgia Tech on Saturday it didn’t appear like those fans were practicing proper social distancing.

People were not happy with how close together FSU fans were sitting while in the middle of a pandemic.

Northern Florida is an epicenter of the COVID19 epidemic in the US this summer. I see a fair number of people here without masks. https://t.co/kqPaQLPGHe

Judging by the number of people that I see in the stands at the Florida State game without masks, they’re sending a clear message that they don’t really want the college football season to continue. pic.twitter.com/lhvPRyt6TR
