Well I just bought tickets today after my trip out of state was cancelled due to the virus, so I kind of expect the worst but hoping for the best. The no-show rate might be high if the game goes on. But this will get worse before it gets better. I'm waiting for a mass cancellation for the clinic I work at.
This is going to be canceled. Already some parent in Lakeview has it and someone at my office building (not my office or floor) here in downtown had contact with a person with cornavirus. This is going to spread and stuff is going to get canceled. 11 days is a loooong time.
For some other leagues the obvious choice is playing behind closed doors to keep the TV inventory going, since that's the real economic value. MLS would have some tough decisions to make about whether they cancel, delay, or play to an empty stadium.
Well, if it is cancelled, at least the weather will likely be better whenever it is rescheduled. Current forecast: AM Rain/Snow Showers and 47 degrees. https://weather.com/weather/tenday/...0093b240009381d87952467e6c2ba8bad55f1328ec986 (by the way, I like that the "10-Day Forecast" is for 14 Days)
Genius idea. PS I'll be genuinely pissed if this game is cancelled over some virus that has infected less people than i can count on 2 hands so far.
I took this from the NYtimes website and edited it, Italy on March 1 was exactly in the same spot the USA is in today. Italy today is on the bottom, so we have a chance the same thing happens here by March 20. Granted the US is much, much larger so the two might diverge in how they spread. Still, from what the CDC says its a matter of when, not if.

Come on, you have seen @sportscrazed2 's food, alcohol, music and drug postings. That lifestyle must have caused him to grow a few additional appendages by now.
