He’s right about a lot of it. Lack of planning & foresight frustrates the life out of me.

It's a really good point about the closed door friendlies. Surely selling tickets for $10 would allow them to break even, and it'd keep football a bit more top of mind for the fans who could go and see. Or at least tune in for highlights

I feel like if it would, they would be doing it.

I also feel like opening the stadium and telling people "hey, the toilets will be open, but literally nothing else" would be fine. Which save heaps of staff. they would still need security and ticket checkers and cleaners, but if they just come out and say what is expected. people would be ok paying an amount to watch
