5. The no mask partiers last night were a much bigger risk, plus 7500 are vaccinated.

[whathehell]

[sinkingfeeling]

8. I thought it was 20k live and 30k cutouts.

[bluedigger]

10. You mean the vaccinated health care workers with comp tickets and 20,000 cutouts?

Those guys?

[cwydro]

12. Thank you.

Saved me typing it.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. There Are LOTS of Cutouts

So, 50% or more of the people aren't real?

[a kennedy]

13. Whew, I'm feeling so much better, and now that I'm looking they are cut outs.....

That’s embarrassing.......sorry, I actually thought there were tons of fans, and now I really see they are cut outs. SORRY, SORRY, SORRY.

[ornotna]

14. No problem

But hey, it was a great opportunity for some to get their Florida bash on.

[a kennedy]

15. And from further away it looks so full......

[ProfessorGAC]

17. If You Didn't Already Know...

...about the cutouts, of course it would look like tons of people.
That's sort of the point of the cutouts, right?
Now, you can get your BP down!
BTW: I still think 20k is a bit much, but a good chunk are vaccinated people. So, there's that.

19. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

blood pressure IS down now.

[marlakay]

18. and this is very interesting......

The NFL made 30,000 cardboard cutout fans to fill the empty seats and make the game look closer to capacity.
The cutouts cost $100 each. 😳 😳 😳 3 million dollars for those cut outs......

23. The NFL will always find a way to make a buck.

Even if $3M is only couch cushion change to them.

[Fiendish Thingy]

21. 25% capacity, with the rest cutouts. Nt

[Marie Marie]

22. Even without stadium attendance, I'm sure many are still holding

Super Bowl parties because some people still deny this virus and Freedom.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

24. $$$$$$$$$$$

talks

[Karma13612]

25. Many are cutouts

If you pay $100, you can/could have a life-size cutout placed in one of the seats.

I wonder if anyone decided to do one of tRump. I would hate to have to sit next to it if I was one of the lucky few that are actually there in person!
