As concerns over the coronavirus continue, the site of fans returning to football grounds seem a long way off as the game tries to restart globally.
We have already seen a number of suggestions to try and create a less dull atmosphere inside stadiums including cardboard cut-outs of supporters in Germany, and even sex dolls dressed in team attire in Korea – the latter copping FC Seoul a fine.
But earlier this month Danish club Aarhus believe they found the best solution yet to the problem – building virtual grandstands.
The top flight side are looking to install the grandstands around the perimeter of their pitch at the 19,000 capacity Ceres Park ground.
Fans can then watch the action from the comforts of their home but appear within the ground via Zoom.
The club posted their idea onto their Twitter account, saying: ‘Football is back in Denmark – but still with no fans. But with the help from Zoom we have a solution. The worlds first virtual grandstand – a new digital football experience that brings the fans and the community together.’
Attached to the post were a couple of images of how the club plan for the grandstands to look with up to 25 supporters filling each one.
The Danish top flight was recently announced to resume on May 28, with Aarhus currently in third place albeit 22 points behind runaway leaders Midtjylland.
