A lot of what is in this article is based on the current pandemic fallouts Technological developments and what "we could see" in the future.
Many things are not yet there, but they could be possible in near and not so near future.
Olympics 2020. Host Nation: Japan.
Japan had been preparing for this gala event since a long time.
A big stage for athletes from around the world. Dreams, passions of many.
Years of preparation. Yet, under the current situation, it has been postponed by a year.
So has been the big money spinner IPL, as well as major Football events.
French Open and Wimbledon too look likely to be canceled.
So, what does future holds for Sports events?
Do they face major losses?
Would athletes have to start looking elsewhere?
Well, Technology can help.
First, Technology can be used to create more structures so that a stadium can be used as an outdoor as well as indoors.
The benefit: Players can be provided some air conditioning if temperatures outside go beyond 40 C and humid, as well as when they dip too much.
This way, they won't fall ill, and infections would be kept at bay.
Secondly, apps can monitor whether players are keeping healthy. Any pre match day illness can be guaged and treated accordingly.
Mobile Apps as well as Booking software can be adjusted to have only half of a stadium full, at least for a year or so.
It would no doubt decrease Organizers' profits, but better to aim for disease and infection control. Repeat viewers could even be assigned to certain seats through these systems.
Stadiums need to be redesigned in a way that the players and audience get various facilities like handwash, sanitizers etc at appropriate places.
Visualization techniques can be used in such redesigning.
Lastly, security teams can also be retrained along with medical teams on standby in case of any unexpected infection spread, or security threats.
Websites and Apps can be used by Organizers to conduct viewers' interest surveys, quiz etc to get Internet based Ad revenues as well as keep the viewers engaged.
Of course, some of these things are already in different stages and perhaps we could see more of these in the future.
So, what is your view on the overall scenario in global sports?
