Yeah I agree.
I watch the news at night, and seeing the Aussie Football, and Tennis
with an empty stadium is just plain strange.
I wonder how the players feel as well?
My  apologies for the long delayed reply; I somehow missed this message,
as my broken hand healed, I did quite a bit of skimming but not
replying.  
So I'm a huge Denver Bronco fan, and my team sucks this year, but I
really don't care as it's just nice to watch them play.  I will say
though .. the stadium is limited to 2700 fans (I think) and may be
going "fanless" for the remainder of the year.  Instead, you can "buy"
a cardboard cut out of a fan to sit in a seat!?!?!  It looks
ridiculous. HOWEVER, this past home game, some group got together and
had bought a seat for the entire cast of South Park, which was
hilarious.
As for watching it on TV, as long as they don't show the empty seats,
the fake crowd noise is good enough watching from home, with one
exception I've noticed -- usually when the "away team" scores against
the "home team" the crowd does not cheer -- apparently the fake crowd
noise is being very sensitive to trigger anyone during 2020 lol!
