Would you sign a waiver releasing Texas A&M of all COVID-related liability to be able to attend games at Kyle Field this fall IN PERSON?
A vampire bite would probably solve the immunity issue when it comes to COVID so you may be on to something.Franklin Delano Bluth said:

I'll also sign a Kyle field waver for werewolf attacks & vampire bites

Why would a sports venue need a waiver in the first place?
Constructive notice is a wonderful concept.Beat the Hell said:
I wonder how many fans know what is on the back of tickets...

My answer is YES
Sovereign Immunity doesn't absolve Texas A&M of any and all liability. It creates an additional hurdle but doesn't bar anyone from ever suing the state or Texas A&M.twk said:
A&M doesn't need one, since, as a state institution, it has sovereign immunity.
Now, I suppose some private schools and pro sports teams might theoretically find them somewhat useful, but I'm not sure that a signed waiver is really going to be required. They can probably print a warning on the tickets and achieve the same thing.
Sovereign immunity, for the state, grants immunity from suit and immunity from liability. Both have to be waived in order for one to actually recover. Of course, these are affirmative defenses, and there is nothing to stop anyone from filing a suit where ultimate recovery will be barred by the doctrine. But, subtantively, Texas may well have the broadest sovereign immunity protection of any state in the Union, and, procedurally, the state even has the right to take an interlocutory appeal from a trial court order denying summary judgment on that ground.nai06 said:Sovereign Immunity doesn't absolve Texas A&M of any and all liability.
