NCAA Tourneys will go on with no fans!

[motorcitycane]

Edit: It’s real. No more crowd advantages.

Don’t discount the energy that fans bring. Especially when momentum swings

 

[Scrape into the C Gap]

Very real. Will be interesting to watch on television

 

[troyskiles]

It is looking that way. Very possible. Hope not.

NCAA tournaments will be played without fans

The NCAA announced Wednesday that its men's and women's basketball tournaments will be played in arenas without fans because of the coronavirus crisis.

WOW!!!!!!

Good. We need to stop the spread. Multiple indoor venues, with 20,000 people on top of each other, then going out and interacting with others, is a bad idea.

Sorry for the athletes, but this is bigger than that.

 

[Mnhurricane]

From strictly a sports watching standpoint it’s a **** shame

 

[For_The_U]

I hate this!!! Not saying it's the wrong decision, but **** do I hate this.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

I’m intrigued to see how weird this will look and sound on TV

 

[Tad Footeball]

Poor Dayton. A host city and probably a 1 seed.

 

[Gables Canes]

The games will now look a lot like the Watsco Center.

 

[moshated305]

Will there still be announcers?

What a joke. I wouldn't tune in to this garbage on tv.

Emmett said NCAA looking to move games in later rounds to smaller venues. Especially the semi finals and finals out of MB Arena in Atlanta

 

[Baba Yaga]

Pretty sure the O's hosted a MLB game in the wake of the Freddie Gray riots, it was weird.

People are idiots. This is no different than any flu strain that has been politicized. 3 years ago the common flu killed over 3 million in the USA. People freaking out over this is ruining the economy and stock market for no reason. If there was no name to this it would be business as usual. People that only have to worry are old and sick people with bad immune systems. They work have an issue no matter what bacterial or virus it was. I work in the health care system and can’t understand it. This is not Ebola etc where you have a less than 10 percent chance of surviving. It is not even in the same league as SARS.

 

[motorcitycane]

This **** is about to feel like an exhibition or practice game.

Imagine winning a title and no one clapping.

 

[canes23]

All this does, is fuel the panic.

 

[rustywalkedaway]

What a joke. I wouldn't tune in to this garbage on tv.

Then you are an idiot who does not understand the much larger issue. This is a pandemic.

Not for no reason. SOME people want things to crash to make a certain POTUS look bad. A stupid reason, but a very real reason.
