Americans won't attend sports events without vaccine: surveyDodger Stadium in Los Angeles remains empty with Major League Baseball shut down for the coronavirus, and most Americans in a new poll say they would be reluctant to attend future sports events until a vaccine is developedLOS ANGELES - A large majority of Americans would be reluctant to attend future sporting events unless a vaccine for the coronavirus is developed, a survey by Seton Hall University has found. But the results of the Seton Hall Sports Poll revealed deep unease among Americans about returning to stadiums before a vaccine had been developed. The survey of 762 people carried out between April 6-8 found that 72% would not feel safe attending a sports event without a vaccine. Meanwhile, the survey revealed support for the decisions of professional sports leagues in the timing of their shutdown. The National Basketball Association, National Hockey League and Major League Soccer all suspended their respective seasons in mid-March while Major League Baseball also postponed the start of the 2020 season.
