MLB plans to play

9:12 am: Major League Baseball discussing plan to play all games in Arizona after coronavirus stoppage

Major League Baseball has discussed the possibility of playing all games in Arizona, with teams stationed in confined environments, according to multiple reports. Clubs would play games at spring training ballparks around the Phoenix area as part of MLB's plan to resume operations after the coronavirus pandemic forced the worldwide suspension of sports. Chase Field, the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, is also an option.
The Associated Press said league officials discussed the plan with the MLB Players Association on Monday, days after President Donald Trump spoke U.S. with sports commissioners to examine the economic effect the virus is having on leagues.

It will be months before we see fans back in the arenas. Hoping for fanless sports soon though.

UFC is planning to host weekly fights on a private island. I've been waiting for sports leagues to come up with creative solutions!

I think fan-less sports would probably result in even more action with people not being able to watch the games live, even after lock-down it will be a long time before groups of 100+ will be able to sit together.

I am glad to hear the sports leagues are starting to figure out a way to have some events. Even if there are not any fans in stands, at least being able to watch it on TV will be nice. They just need to keep the athletes healthy and hopefully get the athletes to agree to playing without fans. There is just to much money being lost by all the sports being on hold. Imagine if owned a baseball team. I am not sure if the TV money was guaranteed or not but some teams will probably go bankrupt sooner than later if nothing is figured out.

Other sporting events will follow suit for sure. I believe that it will be at least a year before a vaccine is found, possibly even 18 months or longer! These are very tough and trying times for the world. Stay safe everyone
