“I see a continued aggressive approach to having fans out there…That’s not being insensitive to the fact that we’ve got COVID, an outbreak, some people say, ‘well maybe it is. No, not when you’re doing it as safe as we are and not when you’re having the results we’re having. We’ve had literally, literally we’ve had no one report that they’ve had contact and gotten any contact with COVID from coming to our football games; no one.”
