Upsides of Social Distancing at ECHL Games?

[JMCx4]

1. Lighter traffic before & after games.
2. More parking options.
3. Shorter arena security check & ticket scanning lines.
4. You wouldn't be complaining about the guy next to you hogging your armrest.
5. You'd have at least 2 seatback beverage holders at your disposal.
6. You could put your feet up on the seatback in front of you without leaving footprints on another fan's $200+ game-worn autographed jersey.
7. No more Kiss Cam.
8. Shorter concession lines.
9. Shorter bathroom lines.
10. Hockey fans wouldn't be constantly complaining that owners are inflating their attendance figures.

Could be their time to shine.

I don’t think the ECHL will play with socially distanced crowds at all. It’s not like they have TV money like the NHL. The AHL could do it but only because they serve the NHL. The ECHL depends on ticket money and with people spread out they wouldn’t make as much money. I think the ECHL just delays the season until it’s safe to get close to other people again.

11. No kid kicking the back of your seat
12. No kid screeching right next to you
13. You wouldn’t have to listen to the guy behind you try to explain the game to his obviously not interest girlfriend when it’s painfully obvious he has no idea what he is talking about.

Thanks, TT, I can't believe I left this one out. If evil thoughts were a Federal crime, I'd be serving at least 50 consecutive life sentences on this one.

Yeah, but the Spongebob theme will still be played four times a game.
