The Springfield Cardinals home opener was scheduled to be today but because of the coronavirus it was cancelled. Springfield News-Leader
On the corner of East Trafficway and North Sherman, there were no lines and there was no buzz. What should have been a sea of red was empty.
There was no stadium music or walk-up songs blasting over the speakers. The only sounds were the wind and the cars that drove by.
No fans stood up and cheered for a base hit or a strikeout. The only things resting in the seats were specks of dust starting to gather.
