Cuomo: New York Will Work With Sports Properties On Restart

5.18.2020

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that he "has been talking to professional sports teams to urge them to gear up and play again, if the economics of games without live spectators work." Cuomo in his daily briefing said even with no fans, "the games could be televised." Cuomo: "New York State will help those major sports franchises to do just that. Hockey, basketball, baseball, football, whoever can reopen, we’re a ready, willing and able partner” (NEWSDAY, 5/18). He added, "Why wait until you can fill a stadium before you start to bring the team back?" (CNBC.com, 5/18).

Meanwhile, California Gov. Gavin Newsom today said that the state "could see pro sports return by the first week of June without fans" (TWITTER.com, 5/18).
