The sports industry came to a grinding halt in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Many sporting events were cancelled or played behind closed doors, while others were played with just a fraction of the usual attendance. However, the arrival of vaccines has given hope that sports fans will once again be able to enjoy live sporting events outdoors in the near future.
During a survey conducted in the United States, 58 percent of respondents in November 2020 stated that they would not attend a live outdoor sporting event if they had received the vaccine and if the required health measures were in place, i.e. with personal protection equipment (PPE), socially distancing measures, and restricted attendance. By May 2021, this figure decreased to 35 percent, while 51 percent of respondents stated they would attend a live sporting event with a vaccine and protective measures in place.
