The sad thing is that the league may have to form another bubble in the late fall/early winter whenever the next season starts up since numbers are still moderately high in several states.

I do wonder how much of a profit the league and team owners are making from this arrangement. Not that it's important, but I'm sure a ton of team owners will lose a grip of money due to tickets for games and food/beer not being sold. The players will probably stand to make a killing from their salaries and shared TV rights, while the team owners will have to bit the bullet, unless new arrangements are made between the players and owners.
