2020 was a tough year for everyone, athletes and sports enthusiasts included. Thanks to the novel coronavirus COVID-19, major sporting events around the world were forced to postpone or cancel altogether for the safety of fans and athletes alike. In circumstances where games could be played, fan attendance was severely curtailed, with many facilities barring fans entirely. After a long year of staying home and staying safe, the world is getting ready to open up again, which means the return of live sports!
If you’ve been waiting to return to your favorite stadiums and fields, are itching for the sights and sounds of a game, and can’t wait to get back to cheering for your favorite teams and players, then 2021 is going to be your year. 2021 is going to be a special year in sports, where we’re likely to see new offerings from many venues. Smaller luxury events are going to be the latest trend, offering fans a super-special experience.
What Will Make 2021 Stand Out?
2020 took a toll on everyone, and without pastimes like live sports and the usual big games to look forward to, many have struggled to stay occupied. 2021 is going to be a fresh start for the sports industry since COVID-19 has changed how events will be coordinated in the future. All evidence points to most venues cutting back on attendance and beginning to offer smaller luxury packages to fans interested in having a live experience.
Instead of picking nosebleed seats or jammed sections, fans will be choosing all-inclusive packages complete with food, beverages, and luxury accommodations. While tickets will be sold for higher prices, fans will be able to gain access to more features and amenities. For VIP guests, some sports venues may even begin offering private transportation and exclusive access to private seating boxes and areas.
New, exclusive experiences give fans a chance to immerse themselves in their favorite sports. Safer, more comfortable, and more exclusive than sporting events pre-2020, the world of live sports in 2021 will make everyone feel like a VIP.
