To me games with no fans are less exciting and have the feel of exhibition games. It wonder how the players like it.

I’ll admit though that the NHL games didn’t have much of a drop off. They piped in the crowd pretty well. Only really missed it on goals or great saves.

So how do you feel about the legitimately of a no-hitter in a road stadium with no crowd? What if some schlepp for the Mets throws a no-no in Philly without any of you crazies there to try to throw him off of his game? Would it seem kind of phony to you?

I'm not trying to take away from what this kid did today, but it sure seems easier to accomplish without fans breathing down his neck as the game went on.

I mean I don’t think it should get an asterisk or anything, unless it was seven innings - I didn’t look at the box score, it went the full 9? I don’t know what a Milwaukee crowd is typically like but I’ve seen many example where the pitcher from the away team is tossing a no no and the fans start cheering for him. Though I doubt that would happen in Philly against the Mets. Kudos to the Cubs pitcher, even if the game was missing something.
