    Empty Stadium Baseball

    This might be a reality for much of the season. Or perhaps delays or cancellation. Below was the full game played before an empty stadium to get your juices flowing for opening day:

    Keep'em in AZ &FL. You don't need big stadiums since there won't be fans (less overhead). The teams are already clustered so you ease/eliminate air travel. Televise all games

    We'll be lucky to even have baseball at this point. The dominos have already started to fall. Less than 50% chance we start on time IMO.

    Major League Baseball doesn't want games played there. https://t.co/BufMsx9ed5

    The Astros dodge another bullet with no fans in the stands to taunt them.

    On the bright side (sort of) a couple or 3 week delay would benefit Suarez, Senzel and Galvis

    That would be typical Reds' fan luck.
    The team finally tries to win, and we can't go to the games.
    Ownership declares a huge loss and cuts payroll in the following season.
    [Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

    The PGA has banned fans from the next few PGA events including the Players Championship going on right now.

    The Augusta National has issued a statement saying that corona dosent have an official badge and anyone selling them one will be forced to return to the 1950s and play in a tuxedo while accompanied by their corporate minions.

    I wonder it at the beginning of the season they will place fans in every other seat in every other row. I would personally like that all the time.
