Some may say there will be no season, but I am going to guess late June. No spectators until September.

Full opening weekend with fans allowed July 4th weekend

I think May is gone for sure and probably June as well

It depends on how willing they are to go without fans and a heavily altered schedule.

I think the earliest we get spectator sports back is September, but I'm confidently optimistic sports leagues will be allowed to open again in July maybe even mid-to-late June.

I honestly think the season may be scrapped as people will be starving for sports, and by the time they are allowed to start back up, the NFL will be ready to feed the people. Goodell reaps the benefits over a disaster. What a surprise.

Wishful thinking on my part probably. I could see Mid June most likely, latest the first week of July.

The other problem baseball has is they are going to have to have a few weeks of spring training before they can be ready for an opening day. Batters have to see some live pitching and pitchers have to get ramped up. So they are a few weeks later than even you might think

Even with a July start, they can get in 80 games

Early June. I'm not sure if I can survive without sports for much longer than that. Labor day weekend is going to be loaded though. I just hope that's not our first dose since the China KungFlu Apocalypse.

They will probably do a 2 week or so spring training like they've done in other shortened years. Maybe slightly more to give a day or so of instraquad workouts before the shortened spring session.

If we're lucky based off this information and the gatherings ban going into about mid May (and it assumes it's lifted about right then), that would mean a Memorial Day to early June target.
