Hilarious. I get having no fans at a real sporting event surely changes the atmosphere... But is there a point is doing a fake sport with no fans to entertain? 😂

Seems like even on TV it would be way less fun.
 
UFC is holding its event at the moment in Brazil, sans audience. This is the only major sporting event I can think of that's taking place this weekend.
 
The National Wrestling Alliance has suspended upcoming events through June, including the Crockett Cup.

The latest from World Wrestling Entertainment.

“In coordination with local partners and government officials, WrestleMania and all related events in Tampa Bay will not take place. However, WrestleMania will still stream live on Sunday, April 5 at 7 pm ET on WWE Network and be available on pay-per-view. Only essential personnel will be on the closed set at WWE’s training facility in Orlando, Florida to produce WrestleMania.”
