Quoted from GTO:NCAA has announced the NCAA tournament will be played without fans. Not a good sign for other events, as we will see more of them start to follow suit.
Makes total sense, the PR hit they would take if a venue results in hundreds or thousand being infected would be huge, but since they are not cancelling the games and the bulk of their revenue comes from the TV rights, there is little downside in playing in empty venues vs the downside of being an epicenter for the spread of the virus. The venues, hotels, restaurants, and all of the folks who work those events are the ones that are going to take the financial hit, not he NCAA. Certainly going to be odd watching games with no crowd noise.
