Anybody around the country seeing sports shows being cancelled because of Corona

[rats60]

Autograph guests and dealers are cancelling going to the big Chicago show this weekend. If it doesn't get cancelled it certainly is being impacted. There are 25 Corona Virus cases in the Chicago area as of yesterday.

The only auto signer I had in mind, George Gervin, has officially cancelled. I did get a pretty sweet rookie of his two days ago. I will hopefully catch him down the road. Still hoping to use JSA service tomorrow. At this point it’s out of the promoters hands I’m guessing. Yesterday was a watershed moment for municipalities large and small.

I plan on going tomorrow, as of now I haven't heard of them cancelling. a few friends are setting up.

Better safe than sorry to cancel large gatherings to stop the spread. it's not political.

I have an auction letter from JSA, so I will show up tomorrow at a minimum. I feel the Village needs to make a call one way or the other.

You really think the Village is going to cancel anything at the convention center if they have the final say? Alot of money to be lost.

Rosemont has gone to great lengths in the past decade to market itself as a safe and secure environment for workspace, night life and lodging. What I’m saying is that the promoters and the DESCC have made it clear they will move ahead and open doors. The only thing that could stop it is government intervention at the county or local level.

The SEC just canceled their College Basketball Tournament. If this threat continues everything of large scale participation will be shut down shortly. Right now it doesn't look to good.

The NBA has suspended games. MLB is suspending operations and delaying the start of the season. NCAA conference tournaments are cancelled and the NCAA Tournament is in question. Let's all go to a baseball card show in a city with the Corona Virus.
