„Hockey, basketball, baseball, football, whoever can reopen we’re a ready, willing and able partner,“ Cuomo said at his daily press briefing.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he’s asked major league sports teams to start planning to reopen or start their seasons without fans, adding that the state is willing to help.
„New York state will help those major sport franchises to do just that,“ Cuomo said at his daily news briefing. „Hockey, basketball, baseball, football, whoever can reopen we’re a ready, willing and able partner.“
While the stadiums aren’t allowed to have fans, Cuomo said the games could still be televised. Cuomo said he believes whether sports franchises choose to return will depend on whether they’re able to make money without fans, which is a sport-by-sport determination.
„I think this is in the best interest of all the people and in the best interest in the state of New York,“ Cuomo said. „And then they’ll be up and running and when we can fill a stadium again, we can fill a stadium.
