I don't think the NFL, the fans, or anyone concerned truly realizes how important the (in-stadium) fans are to everything.

Everything has an energy/a frequency. And in sports there is a real give-and-take to the whole experience between the crowd and the players. It's a living organism type of thing.

If they went with empty stadiums, I really think that sooner rather than later, you'd find not many people wanting to tune in - and probably not many players wanting to play.

If they broadcast the players on the field and the sidelines they will have to show it on cable or all you will here is bleep bleep bleep bleep during the entire game.  That would be annoying as hell.

Based on what precedent? I can produce a nearly endless list of precedents that suggests the opposite is most likely.

Genuinely, you could have had it for a week, feel just fine, and be dead next week. You can't have a precedent on something that has never happened.

Society has bounced back from much worse than this. It will again. Life as we know it is not over.

I felt like VR experiences at live events (sports, concerts, etc.) was already going to get popular before all this. Now it makes SO much sense.
