Empty arenas in Berlin : The Tuesday is not a round

What was the Berlin sports day on Tuesday: scored Four goals in a half, the Hertha, which is not found in the last home match of the year, then plenty of unhappy the successful completion. Did the handball player of the foxes already better, after a renewal of crime, you moved in after a win to the finals tournament of the DHB Cup. And in the case of the polar bears, the home Dilemma was almost synchronous with a fourth Chapter. Exciting it was, therefore, in the case of the foxes "shook" even the Schmeling hall, as our employees tweeted. However, all of the seats not moving. Foxes are the most important game of the season was sold out a long time ago (6490 spectators), the polar bears played just before the minus record (8226 spectators) that, in turn, Hertha effortlessly import. 27.939 viewers lost in the Olympic stadium.

The Tuesday as a round, especially so shortly before Christmas, in a rather unpleasant temperatures (on the way to the hall you have to by the cold), so a wide range of sports unpopular with the viewers. Friendly formulated. Objectively speaking, it is a slap in the face to the Fans.

clubs. to the empty ranks used

Especially Hertha and the polar bears life to a large portion of their Fans from the surrounding area But with a Trip to Berlin on a day like this in many cases is not feasible. There should have been Dortmund and Bayern against Hertha compete, so that the Olympic stadium will be full. In the case of the polar bears would have pulled out on Tuesday, maybe the seventh final of the championship - but of course, there are the known reasons for the termination. For One, it would be made in the above-mentioned sports and then close the game play just plans (all three sports), TV (Hertha) and possible hall occupancy by other events (foxes, especially polar bears) also often have a role.

polar bears come into this season more often on Tuesday than on - especially for young viewers Sunday pleasant -. This can not go well.
But somehow it works, and have become accustomed, apparently, the clubs in to the empty ranks. And Hertha was lucky not to 18.30 kicked off - then they could also play in the Amateur stadium. Perhaps, but the solution goes further in the future. How would you like to Play on Monday lunch, the best lunch break time that would be for many workers, as well as television-friendly. Or perhaps with Games without spectators? Could be for the pay-TV the pay-off.

Hertha BSC Only 2:2 against FC Augsburg

Or maybe there is then time for a rethink in the leagues, Think of the spectators in the football League, they have managed, at least, to dispense with the Monday games (2021/2002).
