You wear your mask at all times in the socially-distanced press box, there is hand-sanitizer available and there is no face-to-face contact between the media and players or coaches. Only those providing pictures or doing camera work are allowed on the field and I don't think Jared, the Cardinal Couple columnist and photographer, has felt unsafe, in danger of super-spreading situations or afraid riots might break out. The fans that attend are socially distanced as well and hand-sanitizer is available for them as well. I have felt safe in both Louisville women's soccer and field hockey venues.<br /><br />The downtown area is several miles from the campus and any reports of rioting just aren't happening currently. It's a different campus, with a lot less people walking about and little traffic congestion. <br /><br />In all fairness, I have not been in any of the "enclosed" venues yet (like the L&N Federal Credit Union Arena or the YUM Practice Center for basketball) -- but from what I have seen and heard, those are areas that are socially distancing, requiring masks at all times and providing hand-sanitizer. Limited attendance for Volleyball is in effect and we'll see how basketball is handled -- that's still over a month away. <br /><br />I expect we'll hear more from Jeff and Jared on Saturday morning on being inside the Volleyball venue on our Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast. Case will weigh in on his experience of covering WSOC on last Sunday as well -- I would assume. <br /><br />The only difficulty I've experienced this fall is "having to take care of a need to use the rest-room" but was able to find a Port-O-Let on campus and took care of that. I carry hand-sanitizer and Lysol wipes in my vehicle, just as a precaution. <br /><br />Coaches and players need not fear coming to Louisville. <br /><br /><br />(Except for when we beat the tar out of them on the fields of play...) <br /><br />paulie<br />xxxxx <br /><br /> Cardinal Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565155435705858363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-33006471383809031902020-10-08T09:13:22.996-04:002020-10-08T09:13:22.996-04:00I would like to take a moment to discuss the so-ca...I would like to take a moment to discuss the so-called riots. I have swung by downtown a couple times as well as have colleagues that have been down there almost daily. There aren’t riots happening, but the protests have continued. Near Jefferson Square, you can find people grilling out and enjoying time with family, people playing music, gardens growing, and litter being cleaned up. The media has tried to paint a different picture than what is really going on down there. Campus has also been completely quiet with the exception of a couple marches- one led by the UofL men’s basketball team.<br /><br />The COVID-19 numbers are a concern, however. UofL has done an excellent job compared to other schools and other parts of the city minimizing positive cases and pinpointing the source immediately. It isn’t a foolproof method but has been a more effective way than most from what I’ve seenJared Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119374310033733226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-20714650503915460372020-10-08T08:54:27.513-04:002020-10-08T08:54:27.513-04:00it is interesting that louisville continue to have...it is interesting that louisville continue to have sports on campus with the covid rate higher than it ever been and that city still have riots in the downtown if i was a coach i think twice about bringing my team thereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
