Going to an event like that is a tough call for a lot of people right now. Some have legit fears of the virus. Others, like me don't want to get the stink-eye from family/friends when I go to a public event and potentially bring home whatever the rest of the unwashed masses may be carrying in that stadium.
The team sucking doesn't help, but I have to think there would be a hell of a lot more fans there than that minus the pandemic. It's already mega-expensive to go to a ballgame and cover all the auxiliary expenses that go along with it. The pandemic undoubtedly pushes a good chunk of fence sitters closer to the "let's just stay home and watch on the couch" camp. It's an enhanced hassle.
