n Monday and Tuesday, games between the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox at Camden Yards were cancelled due to safety concerns related to protests and civil unrest in Baltimore. Because of a lack of common off days among teams in the typical Major League Baseball schedule, additional cancellations would have been nearly impossible to make up, but the solution is still stunning: Wednesday's game will be played in front of an empty stadium. From an Orioles press release:
After consultation with Major League Baseball and city and local officials, tomorrow's game between the Orioles and the Chicago White Sox will begin at 2:05 p.m. ET and will be closed to the general public.

Teams make their money selling broadcast rights - they don’t give a damn about the fans who attend games. If they cared they wouldn’t build stadiums in the middle of hellholes.

This is deep. If a leaf falls in the forest, does it make a sound? What happens if a game is played, and nobody sees it?
To: C210N
Yes, it will be on TV and radio.

Wednesday's game will be played in front of an empty stadium. Reminds me of when I went to a Boston Braves game about 65 years ago.

The previous low-attendance record was set in 1882. Six people attended a game. Technically, this should break the record.

We wouldn’t want anyone or anything interrupting the burning or property destruction now would we?
