I can only imagine how quiet it is during a local high school high risk sporting event. Having your team being cheered on from the stands is all part of the game and is such a boost to game play.

Today (February 22nd) Broome County Executive Jason Garner announced that spectators can now be allowed at higher risk sporting events. New York State on January 22nd announced that higher risk sports could begin with permission of local health authorities.

I'm sure this will be a huge boost for the schools, students and parents. Of course it will be great for the athletes to be able to hear the cheers of the spectators again. I would imagine it's got to have a positive effect for everyine involved.
