Hope Siena doesn’t follow suit, at least for Men’s basketball since it’s off campus at the TUC.

However, if this pandemic continues to get more out of control I won’t be surprised if no fans allowed again this season.

Maybe 2022 will finally allow us to get back to some form of normal pre-COVID!!! I can hope, at least.

Siena will absolutely have fans. This is just liberal eggheads who hate sports. RPI alums/fans are rightfully livid.

How do I know this? We have a vaccine. There’s no reason you can’t ask for proof of vaccination to attend a game.

COVID is never going away. It will be here in 2050. Learn to live with it.

I can get closing the games to the outside public but even as a liberal egghead I see absolutely no reason that you can't allow fully vaccinated family members to attend the games in addition to the students. You can seat them on opposite sides of the ice if you are really worried about it.

It's not worrying about anything. It's we don't care about sports. Let us virtue signal that we take this very seriously still 600 days later.

Good to see them get called out.
