Pioneer in Corona-crisis: The League and the stadium Experiment

"don't you Come to me with football." The health of politicians have said, such as the Rhine, and Karl Lauterbach, mutatis mutandis, in the daily talk shows, as it's life went in the spring to the future of our together. Germany's most popular medium-sized companies from the entertainment industry struggled, meanwhile, to his right to a chance of Survival. And so the German football League (DFL) was as a pioneer of the 36 professional clubs in may, a hygiene concept for securing livelihoods, against the warnings of the SPD-health expert. The result: no one was endangered, not a single Corona-Test withdrew from the football industry for the resumption of the games of the society. The successful Experiment found imitators at home and abroad. Lauterbach, as it was to read, was delighted.

Now he warns again. Because the Bundesliga teams want to Start the new season on 18. September is not more in front of empty stands in huge stadiums to play. You need viewers, and the number at the end. This is understandable, due to the immense salaries. With the TV revenue alone for the millions of fees are not Finance. But the cost pressure can be a reason, the will Advertise yield, it should be people's health on the game. In Italy, soccer is identified play as the place from which the mass infection took happened in the spring of his output. Why should the society of this risk?

Because it can be manageable, if the League to the next concept, succeed more, than to fill their coffers again peu à peu. Who is considered the League's emotionless, can discover a useful object of study. Where, if not under the open sky in large stadiums with lots of access to huge areas, are the first, tentative Experiments with mass events possible? Life with the Virus will determine the future, even if a vaccine one day should make Corona an end. Then the next one comes. For all the complaints about the restrictions, with which the pandemic is contained should be: It remains a lot of freedom to outsmart you with intelligent solutions to the Virus.

However, a game in front of spectators in the stadium is much more complex than the resumption of the game operation, with constantly Covid-19-tested players and strict rules of conduct for employees. The DFL offers the policy to sell until the end of October, no General admission tickets, the sale of alcohol in the stadium until the end of the year, giving Fans the arrival of the Teams do not have access. Along with the idea of the DFL leadership to provide initially a maximum of ten thousand names and data to registered viewers place, it is a good Plan. As sites enough to keep distance and every infectious track could be in according to the big game.
