Sport 14,564 Posted March 11, 2020 I have tickets to Opening Day in a couple weeks and I'm waiting for the announcement that we won't be allowed in the stadium. That no longer feels far-fetched. I do know that standing in this Germ Orgy is probably not a great idea this year and I will avoid it. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those players are now self-isolating, along with four staff members who sat near the Olympiacos owner during the game. didn’t think the virus would ruin my fantasy EPL free hit week! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or the communication truck? Or the broadcasters? What about them? Shouldn't they be also thought of? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GDAWG 1,831 Posted March 11, 2020 As I said in the WWE thread, I sort of hope that Wrestlemania 36 is an empty stadium card. I would watch the whole thing if that happened. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sodboy13 5,763 Posted March 11, 2020 The NCAA has just announced it will be going empty-arena for all championship events, including the men's and women's basketball tournaments. That's the first big domino; now, here come the rest. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayMac 3,874 Posted March 11, 2020 Selfishly, I really hope that most of the professional leagues, including the NCAA, mandate that all games will be played in empty arenas/stadiums. I think we sports fans still need the escape from all of this. Total cancellations should be a last resort. I guess we'll see in the upcoming weeks. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's going to be strange to watch. I wonder if it helps the small conference schools a bit...they're used to quieter environments. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think theyd move it to the arena if it goes the route of no fans. I cant see them using Raymond James Stadium if no one will be there. Heck, the Final Four is looking for a smaller venue too since the announcement was made for March Madness. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
