FSU football: How COVID-19 could affect Gameday rituals

Student Life
On a typical game day, a current FSU student told me that his routine begins at 8:00 am, where he will go to the cafeteria and The Fig and will see everyone decked out in their jerseys. He then goes to different apartments, tailgates, and activities before either going into the stadium to watch the game or going to a local business to watch FSU football on the big screen.
When I spoke with an incoming FSU freshman, she said that she enjoyed the energetic atmosphere surrounding athletics, and how the student population interacts.

That school spirit and excitement was something that encouraged her to go there.
The incoming FSU freshmen and the current FSU student spoke about the activities during game day. They both said that virtually nothing but the stadium capacity would change.
They said the fraternities will still throw parties, fans will still tailgate, and people will still frequent the local businesses. They noted that people will always go out and interact in groups outside of the dining halls and major gathering places on campus. However, there will be a significant number of students that will avoid groups and stay inside.
