I like the audience of stuffies they had at a Korean baseball game last week. What’d be fun is a stadium/arena of Gritties (that would take some time for the players to get used to).
Many years ago, I refereed a soccer match between two teams who had been forced to play in an empty stadium. It was the most surreal thing I’ve ever done!
Even though, as a player or an official, you tune out the crowd noises when playing the game, the lack of them is more disturbing.
Sell tickets in groups of up to six. No more than two groups per row (so they don’t need to climb over each other), no seats sold directly in front of others (two rows empty/cutouts directly in front of each sold seat).
Then, just for whimsy, add a lever below the sold seats that makes the cutouts stand, when the fans stand.

Isn’t that redundant?

Statistically, out of the 3, shouldn’t one of them should be halfway decent?

Cardboard cutouts of fans with their heads on springs? Looks like someone has watched “Blazing Saddles”.

wonder if the players will go along with new idea, 79 game season, at half pay.

I don’t see how there will be any revenue generation from that idea.
