    Odd numbers (they're based off the 2000 Census - almost 100k below the current population) and it doesn't include WHERE they live in the city or anyone who isn't white or black. Trust me when I say there are neighborhoods that are entirely Mexican, entirely African American, and entirely white and they're almost completely geographically determined.

    North of 4th street, until you get to farm land, is a small amount of student housing and a mostly Mexican population. It's the only part of town where the United Markets/Market Street grocery store chain has one of their Amigos branded stores where everything is in Spanish and the layout/core foods are different.

    Between 4th and 19th is the campus and the bulk of the student housing.

    Between 19th and 34th is a mix of student housing and lower income Caucasian.

    From 34th down to 130th (and still expanding) is 95+% Caucasian with a few hundred Asian families and one random Hawaiian family.

    That's for everything west of University Blvd and south of 4th St. Once you go east of University, and south of 4th, you get the last bits of student housing and then the bulk of the 25,000 or so African American residents.

    You can legitimately navigate the city pretty accurately just by knowing the race of the person you're visiting.

    Crew are allowing 1500 for this Sunday's derby vs FCC. They sold out quickly.

    The Falcons are going to let crowds into Mercedes Benz Stadium in October. Will United follow suit?

    Given their current form it may be best not to.

    I assume Indy did reduce capacity to exactly 2,500. Announced attendance numbers that are multiples of 100 tend to mean something like that. This season they've been playing at Lucas Oil Stadium, capacity 62k.

    UPDATE: Health officials reduce Indy Eleven capacity to 2,500 following IBJ story

    I think what happened is that the Colts were given a capacity of 2,500 and the IBJ decided to ask the city why Eleven were allowed 5,500.

    I'm going off the comments as the story is behind a paywall.

    Edited:

    The Colts announced Sept. 4 an agreement with the health department that limits attendance for at least the first home game—on Sunday—to no more than 2,500 ticketholders. In a statement to IBJ, the health department said since the Colts are required to have a capacity limit, so too are the Indy Eleven.

    The capacity for the Colts second gave may be as high as 7,500. It's all a bit silly.

    I wonder why SKC has’t announced any attendence numbers since they’ve had fans at every game since the return?

    I'm surprised we couldn't get to 1500 in Cbus. Social distancing was required so the stands were fairly sparse.

    We won't do any attendance shaming this year though.
