Have to say, if I was a student I am not sure I would sit in the stands.   I guess if they allowed each dorm to sit together that could be viable.

Really?  I'm guessing students would be more likely to go to games than just about anyone else.  If there's ever a time in your life when sitting out in the sun on a Saturday afternoon makes you feel like everything's perfect, that time is college...

As for students and behavior that is risky to your health, well, Full Moon on the Quad for starters...

I was not from CA, so if I got sick that would have been VERY problematic.    
I would be stuck in CA without family support, resources, etc.   No real way to get home given the positive test, so that would all be rather miserable.   Even if it was just a flu like thing for 7-14 days, that would be a rough way to spend a 10-week quarter.

That USC game will be an interesting test for Stanford.  Perhaps in one student's home town everything was OK, but would that student be confident sitting next to a person from Birmingham, AL or Detroit, MI or perhaps a daughter of a meat processing plant employee?

Most Stanford students did not show up at games last year, so I just can't imagine they will show up this year.   I guess it is an important question because I would believe the students should be first in.   If capacity is limited to 5,000.   It should be family of players and coaches, then students, and then if any seats are left the top donors.

If the football players are not playing in front of their family, friends and school colleagues but instead are playing in front of big donors then the NCAA and the colleges should stop pretending they care about the student-athletes.
