    Game times?

    So for home night games do the reds still schedule for 7:10 pm or do they start more like 8 pm? After all, there will be no fans driving home after games who have to get up and go to work the next morning.

    This is a good point.

    They could schedule games whenever they want, really. With no regard for fan attendance, will there ever be weekday day games?

    What times is best for TV? 7:30?

    I always thought the reason they had weekday day games is so teams have time to travel at the end of a series.

    The question of whether or not there will be fans at some point during the season has not yet been fully answered.

    But even if there aren't, they're going to make a big push for fans to stream/watch the games. They'll want to play games at times that might bring in the biggest audience.

    I read an article the other day which stated there would be around the same amount of day games as normal. The main reason being, as mentioned, team travel.

    What would be the risk from the teams perspectives for allowing full capacity if ticket sales were there? It seems simple to have it posted everywhere stating the Reds have no liability if a fan becomes sick. Is it more just to protect the players?

    Not even sure if it would be am issue if they did allow normal attendence, as some fans would just play it safe staying home. Then again with less games played thus year and sports fans craving anything sports, I could see frequent sell outs if they permitted it.
