We'll know more after this weekend but that pretty much confirms the conference has three clear tiers:
1. Maryland and Rutgers
2. Penn State, Ohio State, and Hopkins (PSU with the best D of the group, OSU with the best O, and Hop in the middle for both)
3. Michigan
We didn't really need a fancy chart to know this but it's nice when the data aligns with public opinion.

And the ACC hype being driven by good offense and bad defense...

Governor Murphy of NJ, Please open up the state and allow fans at the games, not just parents. Rutgers stadium holds about 55,000. Why not a 5,000 fan max? There's enough space to easily hold this amount of people who would love to watch the Scarlet Knights play. Get it done!

5,000 fans?!!!! The Governor doesn't have to get that ambitious. The biggest crowd Rutgers got two seasons ago was 2,281 fans against Maryland. That would leave about 52,719 seats left open. Plenty of room to spread out.
This whole subject of fans at lacrosse games in these enormous stadiums is truly absurd. There is no need to even put a limit on it.

4-5 seasons ago, Rutgers had several games in the 4-5,000 range. winning will do that, especially if the high school season doesn't start until April 1.

Largest home crowd in 2016 was Hopkins - 3,653
Largest home crowd in 2017 was Maryland - 3,458 (on Easter Sunday)

Perhaps it "felt like" 4-5,000 range...indeed "winning will do that" !
Fundamental point though is correct, there really should be no issue with attendance as long as distancing maintained...don't crowd tightly together...of course, that's not what people tend to do...would need a bunch of ushers to insist...

Rutgers stadium holds 55,000 but how many of those seats are available for lacrosse games? 8,000 max? Pretty sure for lax you're only allowed to sit in the lower level on one side of the field, spanning from about the 20-yard line to the other 20-yard line. 15% of that would be about 1,200 which seems more than enough for many Rutgers games.

Looking at this past weekend game at Rutgers they look to have allowed the parents to sit in the sections behind the benches.

With Hogan allowing more occupancy in MD, MD's athletic department is seeking guidance on attendance. No word on how PG County has reacted to the Hogan's order.

I'm sure this has been answered, but why aren't the Big 10 men's team playing opponents in back-to-back games over the same weekend the way that the women's team are?

women have one more team (northwestern) and not enough weekends to spread the 2 extra games out. so it's the women that are forced to adjust.
