If they add a laugh track to the broadcast they may not be as bad. They will still suck but could be funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieTitanFan08 Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Going to be interesting to see how long the NFL holds off allowing players/coaches back into facilities now the first CFB program has committed to bringing back players on campus June 1st (University of Wyoming) you can bet others will start following quickly especially SEC Schools.

AussieTitanFan08 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Bit of talk down here in Australia that the NFL and some of the other major US sports have been in contact with the 2 major football codes here (NRL/AFL) as they are going to be the first two full contact/tackling football codes to restart their competitions, the NRL starts today and the AFL in 2 weeks. Apparently most interest surrounds the bio security protocols that have been put in place to allow both competitions to restart so quickly. It is interesting how quickly the debate has shifted, a month ago not everyone was convinced there would be an NFL season and now the discussion more revolves around if or how many fans will be allowed in the stadiums.

There will absolutely be a full NFL season and it appears it won’t be delayed. The biggest question is regarding the fans. Personally, I believe they fill about 1/3 of the stadium for distancing purposes and digitally add more fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have live gametime broadcasts of fan reactions from fans at sports bars etc, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number9 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Soccer has started/will start in Europe, any word of their plans? I think they are going to pack football stadiums. We’re in phase one of reopening. I expect we’re in the last stage by game one, no restriction. Attend at your own risk. High risk people stay home. I doubt they will even temperature check at the gates. Money. If you have a high temp you will want your money back. Ain’t got time for that, the game is starting.

Indications seem to be at least 25-50% capacity for football. Will be interesting to see if that number continues to tick up between now and the start of the season.

I'm down with that if the numbers work. Maintaining social distancing on stadium entance lines and concessions will be a major challenge.

They are using fake crowd noise for some games in Germany and it has worked well. It's clever, louder cheers when the home team scores etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
