Major League Baseball is back (and the NBA) * 1
    #26842692 - 07/24/20 01:24 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

And the NBA next week.

No fans though. Empty stands. I heard some stadiums are going fake crowd noise and put empty cardboard cutouts of fans in the seats :lol:

My question is, as a sports fan myself, is there even any point to playing sports without fans? The fan energy is a huge part of these sports. The energy from the crowd during a big game is really a irreplaceable element isn't it? Imagine an NFL playoff game in an empty stadium.

Sure I guess it'll be better than nothing as finally sports fans can at least watch these games on TV again, but it's going to be really weird. I mean seeing the Los Angeles Lakers and Paw's Houston Rockets in a playoff series that's being played in an empty practice gym with nobody there  outside of a few media and league office people is just going to

:feelsweirdman:

I would think the athletes may be more relaxed playing without all that extra hubbub.

It was on behind the counter in my gym last night.

It was pretty fucking weird, the whole empty stadium vibe.

Not that I'm into it anyway, but it does defeat the purpose, IMO.

Don't really follow any organized sport but I usually had a pretty good time when I attended Jays games in the past. Think I read they will not be playing.

They're playing, but not in Toronto (or Canada for that matter) because Canada isn't allowing sports. So the Jays will be playing their games in Buffalo, lol.

I think it's one of those things where if you're super into the gameplay itself, it'll be pretty good but it'll feel like it's missing something. Causual fans probably won't get much out of it without the atmosphere. Baseball will probably be awful imo, but basketball, hockey and football should be decent. I've seen the fake crowd stuff in european soccer and it's awful, the crowd is like 2d CGI and when the camera shifts sometimes the 'people' end up off center and flying through the air and stuff :lol:

That seems excessive if they're testing everyone regularly and before games. Face shields for football linemen would probably be enough, who knows though. Major league soccer has a "bubble" tournament going in florida, players dont wear masks on the field and so far I don't think any have gotten sick

I was watching a little of the Braves & Mets and they weren't wearing masks while they were on the field (although a few were wearing masks in the dugout)

Then you have never been to a game and know what momentum and home field advantage is.  People cheering for a team or their favorite players.  They notice. Or if one travels wearing a hat from an away team to cheer for them or a player visiting town.

Think they would much rather have fans then pumped in cheering from the sound system and this was the most creepiest thing I have ever seen in baseball from the Dodgers game last night with the cardboard cutouts.  At least the Nats got it right and just leaved the the seats open.  Not fair the Yanks got Cole but that is a different story.

Im using this year as an excuse to extend the Washington Nationals as defending champs no matter what happens. Its not a real year so it wont count. Makes perfect sense.
