As most of you are likely aware, the NFL is blazing ahead with their plans to play the upcoming NFL season as uninterrupted by the COVID-19 virus as possible. Training Camps are still scheduled to open, they are still planning on having some sort of preseason (there is talk they could drop it down to 2 games, but I haven't seen anything definite on that), as of yesterday, they want to increase the size of the practice squad to 16 players (needs NFLPA approval) to give teams flexibility in handling players testing positive for the coronavirus, they are doing everything they can to make sure the season starts as scheduled.
However, there will likely be some conditions attached. Perhaps the single biggest condition, is the possibility that they will have to play football in empty stadiums, without fans. Now teams that actually own their stadiums and collect all of the concessions, ticket, parking and merchandise revenue will lose money without fans being allowed to attend the games, but, the gamble would be that if they can't go to the stadium, they will watch the games on TV, and the TV revenue from the games ratings will help soften that blow. But, that assumes that fans stick with the NFL. And that's the question I want to ask:
Are you still interested in watching NFL games in empty stadiums?
