With no games played with home crowds in 2020, the Milwaukee Brewers were heading for a financial hit this season. The Brewers are dependent on the income from home games played, so losing that for a season is a big hit. The Milwaukee Business Journal reported earlier today on the projected losses, which is expected to be at $178.3 million in 2020 from having no fans in attendance. The data comes from Team Marketing Report, a group of sports analysts who produces a Fan Cost Index each year.
Around the league, the total hit is projected to be approximately $5 billion in lost revenue from having no fans in attendance.
