Question

Hello, everyone,

My name is Dylan, and I am a sports encyclopedia of sports facts. I was wondering if everyone could use predictive analytics to estimate how much money professional sports teams and leagues will lose by hosting games without fans. With sports like the UFC, NASCAR, golf, and the KBO starting without fans, should the NBA, NHL, MLB, and football wait or play?

Hi @Spunky3300

This is exactly the kind of problem that predictive analytics excels at.  The hard part here will to gather the revenue data from the sports that have started without fans.  If you can get these, you can perform weekly year-over-year comparisons of this year with previous years and see what the impact has been in the various sports.
