I think it is well within the capability of modern software to implement a real time "cheers and groans" sound track to run through the stadium audio so at least TV viewers don't notice the difference. But 20,000 animatronic fans in the seats, and the players won't notice the difference either.
" Statement from the NCAA COVID-19 Advisory Panel on NCAA events
March 11, 2020 4:15pm
The NCAA COVID-19 Advisory Panel recognizes the fluidity of COVID-19 and its impact on hosting events in a public space. COVID-19 is spreading rapidly in the United States, and behavioral risk mitigation strategies are the best option for slowing the spread of this disease. This is especially important because mildly symptomatic individuals can transmit COVID-19. Given these considerations, coupled with a more unfavorable outcome of COVID-19 in older adults – especially those with underlying chronic medical conditions – we recommend against sporting events open to the public. We do believe sport events can take place with only essential personnel and limited family attendance, and this protects our players, employees, and fans."

Do the right Joe and compensate your lower wage workers. You're gonna get addtl tax breaks and a quasi bailout to the tunes of millions. You just flipped several players to avoid repeater tax. Pay security, food service, concessions etc throughout the duration of the ban.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, on ESPN now, brings up hourly arena workers and says "we'll put together a program for them"
Ahem Ayn Rand Lacob
Gobert touched those mics too, what a dumb***
Welp, season has been suspended
Rudy Gobert just tested positive for COVID19.
New thread with this afternoon’s Q&A with Steph, Kerr, Myers and Welts. https://www.letsgowarriors.com/p/march-11-q-and-a-with-stephen-curry
Should make the return of Durant and his tribute video an interesting experience.

I’m extremely interested in seeing what this game will play like.
It’s going to be like watching a dream I’m sure.

If Steph Curry yells (https://streamable.com/moif) and there are no fans in the arena to hear it, does it make a sound?
You are doing the right thing. You all. God bless you with resilience and health.
From a comatose country, with love, Stefano
Wait, Portland doesn't have a G-League team yet?
"Blazers Assign Jusuf Nurkic to G League’s Santa Cruz Warriors"
I'm a bit stunned that nobody here is addressing the real tragedy. Bell, Biv, Davoe & Friends is cancelled. That cancellation is cultural poison.
Also, who knew they had friends?
Not going to the playoffs this year is turning out to be a blessing in disguise for us. Imagine going on a playoff run without home fans?
bummer, JTA going in for an MRI
