This is going to sound ignorant but why are we not allowing in fans when the rest of the country is? Are we not on the lower spectrum of daily covid cases?

I hope no fans in the stands just means no general admission for the time being. I know Hawaii is unfortunately an isolated island state and the destination of a lot of tourism so the pandemic affects them differently. However, on the tail end of covid it just seems ridiculous to not make exceptions for close family, especially if there are requirements stipulated (vaccinated, masked, tested, etc). I mean this ruling kind of perpetuates the sentiment of the inability of government to get things back normal. At this point you have to think of what you’re taking away from the community broad spectrum. We’re all disappointed but No politics.

Our hospital numbers and positivity rate are dire right now. That is the reason why. Us averaging 800 a day is relative to population, California having 22k a day

I think I’m gonna go back and watch some men’s games and see how the empty SSC games looked like towards the end of the season. Maybe that’s more of what we can expect.

There was a boxing show at the MGM Grand with a pack house. Nevada has a positivity rate near 14% compare to Hawaii’s 8.3 %
I think the dire number is hospitalisation and not necessarily positivity rate. Las Vegas probably has a lot of ICU rooms available but dang….letting10,00 plus people congregate indoors is asking for trouble.

Las Vegas probably has a lot of ICU rooms available but dang….letting10,00 plus people congregate indoors is asking for trouble. I believe the Pacquiao fight at the MGM was vaccinated people only, mask-wearing mandatory. Like the Raider's new policy, not vaccinated - no entry to Allegiant Stadium. In NYC, there were 60,0000 people at the free We Love NYC concert in Central Park, mask optional (outdoors). All had to be vaccinated to get in. It can be done with minimal risk of exposure and with sound mitigating procedures, mask-wearing, no groups larger than 10, social distancing, and most importantly, proof of vaccinations required. NYC used the CDC vaccination card, the NYC Excelsior app, and the Safe Passage app as proof of vaccinations.

I’m thinking if the family members are flying here they must have there vaccinations. It does not make sense to why they can’t watch and still why we cannot have the SSC at half capacity. I also would like to consider what about our seniors who attend the games and putting them at risk. Our volleyball culture is like no other. This is all so confusing and with now different broadcasting I just hope we can watch the games.

There's a cost on watching women volleyball on ESPN+. You have to pay. IMO: I think UH officials should cancel contract with ESPN+ and get one of the local stations broadcast these matches for free, since the Covid19 pandemic and there is no live audience in stands.

I have Spectrum but I'm not subscribed to the ability to record anything. I just can't afford it. Or have the time to upload anything anywhere.
