A program adorned with Heisman trophies and championship banners found itself playing to a hollow house, raising questions that no scoreboard can answer.

Consumers may face higher ticket prices and reduced amenities as athletic programs compensate for lower attendance revenue. Reduced game-day spending at concessions and merchandise also impacts local hospitality businesses.
