Despite the fact the NFL seems to be making progress in moving forward with offseason workouts and training camps, there is still a real possibility when teams start playing games, packing stadiums with screaming fans won’t be allowed.
We have already seen some professional sports do this and although I am not a fan of many other sports I did watch some and the impact of it on television value is obvious.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson spoke to the media on Wednesday via video conferencing and he said what we all have been thinking in regards to playing in empty stadiums.
“The game just wouldn’t feel right,” Johnson said. “It would feel like another practice,” Johnson said in the call it would feel more like a scrimmage and it isn’t hard to imagine the same level of intensity would be there is the crowd isn’t there hyping the players up and vice versa.
