"We feel pretty optimistic about our capacity to host spring training in the safest possible way," said Bridget Binsbacher, executive director of the Cactus League. All 30 Major League Baseball teams are allowing spectators to visit their spring training facilities in Arizona and Florida, albeit space is extremely restricted. The Cactus League announced on March 11 that it was lifting its ban on large gatherings as part of its effort to combat the coronavirus pandemic. Spring training has been canceled this year due to the outbreak, with the exception of minor league games that were still being played at the time. The major leagues have yet to announce whether or not they will resume in the future. In addition to the major leagues, many other sports organizations have also decided to cancel their seasons due to the coronavirus outbreak. The NBA has confirmed that it will suspend its season following the conclusion of the Los Angeles Lakers vs New York Knicks game on April 7. The NHL has set a deadline of April 13 for any team that has not made the playoffs by then to make a decision on whether or not it will continue playing this season. College basketball's early entry process has begun, with most schools announcing their non-conference schedules well before the start of the season. The majority of these games will be played without fans present due to coronavirus concerns.
