As some professional sports start back up without fans in attendance, it would be interesting to hear how the fairgrounds staff is planning to control social distancing protocols within the grounds.
Put aside the swap meet and car corral areas for a minute (but a major issue), what type of safety measures are being put in place for areas where there would typically be a large gathering of people in a small amount of space (concession stands, bathrooms, stands near the stage, information building, seminar tent area, car buildings)? I would assume the fairgrounds now has dedicated entrances and exits to promote social distancing.
If the event takes place this year, it will be interesting to see how far in advance guidelines/map are posted to prepare attendees.
Other questions that I’m thinking of are following:
Will camping be allowed on the property?
Will they rearrange the layout of the swap meet / show fields spots? Will the aisles have one way flow?
If Dodge continues with the thrill rides, will it be limited to a driver and one customer in the back seat (with sanitizing in between rides)?
Would it be feasible and somewhat enforceable to make the show and swap meet aisles "One-Way", with passing allowed?
And while we are on possibilities, how about some seating spread out among the site, and a little shade might be asking too much?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
