Sports leagues around America are facing the difficult decision of what to do and how to plan ahead amid the coronavirus pandemic. Well, some outside of the box ideas on how to restart sports have been circulating in the sports media.
Here are three of them:
1. Jay Williams: Eastern Conference and Western Conference Cruise Ships
"You build two courts on those cruise ships. The team members and their family can be isolated to a degree. You go right into the playoffs. And you have the championship game on a cruise ship."

Here's what Florio wrote:
"One possibility would be to find a place literally in the middle of nowhere and build enough fields to play the various games on a given Sunday (and Saturday, if college football doesn't happen in 2020) and enough rooms to house the players, coaches, trainers, broadcasters, etc. for 17 weeks of football and four weeks of the postseason. Another possibility would be to add to the football facility at the Greenbrier in West Virginia, which currently has 710 rooms.
More rooms would have to be built, and built quickly. More fields would have to be built, and built quickly. Still, if/when the NFL decides that a normal season is an impossibility, this is the kind of approach that could preserve the TV money — and potentially add to it, if college football can't be played and if the NFL takes over each and every weekend from the weekend after Labor Day through the Super Bowl."
3. A one site event for the NBA Playoffs
Las Vegas, the Bahamas, Orlando, Hawaii, and even Atlantic City are being discussed, per reports. Jeff Van Gundy believes the NBA season will be canceled all together.
Got any better ideas?
