11,500 spectators per day at Roland Garros

[J_Ring]

So it's going to be 11,500 fans per day, but what was the allowed number of fans normally?

Main Stadium: 15,000
2nd Stadium: 10,000
3rd Venue: 5,000
Smaller Courts: ?

Entrapment is always amusing, but hardly ever convincing due to its dishonesty.

What could possibly go wrong?

I’m pleased their are fans. It will add more to it. This us open is sorely lacking without them. I’m looking forward to the french especially with the night matches being used too. I’m glad they finally got a roof and lights too. Should be good!

USO would loved to have had fans attend but was forbidden to do so by Governor Cuomo and the NY Health Department, despite the fact that NYC daily cases are far lower than Paris.

What does it tell us?

It tells us us that the French Federation are willing to sacrifice a few hundred deaths and hospitalizations in order to put on a tournament with fan attendance.

Coronavirus: France sets daily record with almost 10,000 new cases

This is the highest single-day count in the country since the start of the pandemic.

It tells us the French Federation will be laughin' all the way to the bank!

The virus is here anyway with a crowd or not. I support this move. If large groups of people close together can shout & protest daily why can't a crowd properly distanced sit silently?

NYC: Zero fans.
Paris: 11,500 fans per day X 14 days during a huge spike in cases.

I guess that the insurance helps to be classy.
Let's see what happens in 2021

if you are organizing this big tournament and still don't have the insurance then you don't deserve to arrange it !

How in the world did Wimbledon have the foresight to obtain pandemic coverage?

In any case, they likely do not have coverage for 2021. Premiums far too expensive.

Idk, I kind of love it. No interruptions, no one giggling when more than 2 slices in a row are hit

no "pappapapapapapà-OLE'"
