Sports behind closed doors

So if various articles are correct sooner or later sporting events will resume but without joe public being there - footie, motor racing etc.
I wonder how that will go down with the followers & supporters? I watched very briefly part of a Champions League game earlier in the year where there were no supporters due some infringement by the Home team.
It was painful; An eerie silence barring the 2 commentators....
I wonder whether our thirst for live action in sports that we love will be enough to make us tune in, and if we do - whether the spectacle will hold our interest?
With F1, i'd miss the grid walk and presumably the buzz that exists before the race starts - but afterward the crowds are not as highlighted as in other sports, and def not as audible - so i guess that'd work ok.
Footie....it's in your face that the place is deserted as most camera angles pick up the stands in the background and there's zero noise, so its a tad sterile.
