    When this is all over, there is going to be an insane amount of Fan Appreciation events. Once those paychecks are dinged, players are going to gain an all new respect for fans being in their arenas every night.

    Hopefully, they'll be an insane amount of Cheerleader Appreciation events, too.

    I think It’s possible to resume the season with empty gym in Vegas in July.

    Lol, "experts." It's like to going to Walmart. You can shop around the shelves and find whatever "expert" you need for your purposes. Always has been. The media is clogging the doom and gloom aisle right now.

    I wonder if tickets to Superbowl LV are super cheap right now, because that's definitely still happening, and I've never been to one before.

    Or you can have fans creepily "attend" events with their avatars. Like in Black Mirror.

    I wonder if egaming...uhh esports is going to grow. Even a doubling rate in audience would give it a 3-5 year leap.

    Unemployed brehs, find your calling there.

    Fans may not be able to afford to go by then.

    yup. 30% of us are unemployed and were already living on the edge. They aren't paying their rent and mortgage, so when they do get work again, they will be paying the mortgate and rent they stopped paying since April. Americas will be climbing out of debt for a long time. Discretionary funds will not be part of the new normal.

    I'm sure the the prime seats will still be sold to Corporate American and the Riches, but the rest of us poor working Americas aren't going to spend $20 for Parking, on top of the ticket price when we can't even pay rent

    Look at this! Americas waiting in line for food, not in line for tickets to Rockets game
