Danish Superliga leaders FC Midtjylland have come up with a brilliant idea on how they can allow fans to watch a league match in the MCH Arena, and at the same time adhering to the social distancing rules.
So the club set up two big screens in their stadium car-park, with up to 10,000 fans will be able to access live commentary through their car radio.
The car-park will also be shown live inside the stadium so the players can feel the presence of fans.
“We are working hard to create the best possible experience,” said Preben Rokkjaer, the club’s marketing director to Danish newspaper BT.
“We have a stated goal of creating the best stadium experience. Coronavirus does not change that, it just provides some other preconditions.”

If fans need to use the toilet, the club have the solution.
“You have to flash the lights, then a guard will come and pick you up and make sure the toilet is cleaned afterwards.”
There will also be prizes for the car dressed best in club colours.
Away fans will be able to attend the match, but in a separate section.
The Superliga is currently planning to restart on 17 May with the season finishing by the end of July.
The success of the initiative in the first game will determine whether more spots can be offered to fans.
