Hopefully these rules will be relaxed by showtime!

Spectators must not be permitted to roam about the venue, or to mingle with persons from other cohorts. Spectators must not be permitted to gather in areas outside of their assigned seats except in designated dining areas.


Venues must collect and maintain contact information from all those in attendance to
help inform contact tracing efforts.
- To expedite this process, MDHHS recommends prohibiting same-day ticket sales.
- Ticket re-sale and forwarding should be prohibited to maintain accurate contact tracing records.
- Venues must comply with local and state public health officials during any case investigation and contact tracing that may be required, and with enforcement of quarantine and isolation requirements, as a result of attendance of a large outdoor event.

There is talk over on Airshow Stuff that this is pivoting to a drive in format with a morning show and an evening show. F-35 in the morning, Thunderbirds in the evening, and you need seperte tickets for both shows. also sounds like there will be little to no warbird attendees other than the usuals that are based close by. No confirmation from ToM yet.

That is less than desirable...hopefully if it does go drive-in and no warbirds we can get refunded for our tickets.
