Michigan Football: To play with or without fans inside the stadiums
By Nick Popio
Without Any Fans
This feels like the way to go at least from this standpoint — it keeps the players and coaches safer as long as they are tested thoroughly as the game approaches.
A substantial amount of money gets lost by doing so, but the well being of young talented humans is at major risk here. That has to take precedent over anything else.
Weather has emptied capacity crowds before and this might be a tad similar in some aspects to that. In 2014, while hosting Utah, the big house was virtually left unattended after a rainstorm blew through Ann Arbor. The usual enormous congregation didn’t flow back into the stadium because of that and the realization that the outcome was already well in doubt.

College football anywhere without fans is flat-out not sacred. Unfortunately these scary times call for an alternative. How these summer months forge on will be a tell tale sign for anything sports related as well as society.
Getting back to the excitement of football is something that is needed, but knowing there is an invisible enemy out among us is greater than anyone or anything imaginable.
