If Cal can't fill a stadium when the Raiders have left town...people are craving in person sports, and we have a pretty decent team, then we need to fire the marketing department.
I still don't think we will fill the stadium - too many other activities available plus older alums will sit at home and watch on TV, rather than going to a night game to start out. But it will be interesting to see how many folks show up for Nevada.
Would it have been wiser to say that Cal is still practicing safe distancing and then use that as an excuse for why the stadium only looks one-third full during games?

Mask free, no restrictions? If so, I'll be there!
I'm all in on renewing my tix. I'll be answering the emails from Cal Athletics I've been getting during the Rona times...
Already got my season tix. Can't wait. When do we see the Fall Camp schedule?
Man I missed the games, the tailgates and everyone last year. Can't wait!
And, one of the people in the stadium and on our sidelines, dressed to play, might be our own Luc Bequette! https://www.si.com/college/cal/news/bequette-may-return
As Far Side says: Oh Please! Oh Please!
with johnson out, he would easily be the best player on the defensive line
Is there any chance — even a remote one — that Brett could come back later in the season?
Fractured or broken hip bone? Can't see it. These are supermen, but bones are bones.

Maybe do a hybrid of real people AND cutouts mixed in. Sometimes with the cutout being of the same real person sitting next to it.
Cue the Hallelujah Chorus!
Great news!!
