The sports world may be eager to start up again, but fans are a lot more reluctant to show up for games. A new poll out yesterday (April 9th) from Seton Hall University’s Stillman School of Business found that 72 percent of those surveyed said they’d wouldn’t go to sporting events if they resumed without there being a coronavirus vaccine, something experts have said is at least 12 to 18 months away.
Among those who identified as sports fans, 61 percent said they’d wouldn’t go to a game without a vaccine. However, 76 percent said they’d watch broadcasts of games without fans in attendance, and with the same amount of interest they had before.
