In Gilas Pilipinas’ first home-game with then coach Yeng Guiao during the qualifiers for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, the team stepped on to the Araneta Coliseum floor greeted by nothing but the squeaking
sound of their sneakers and utter silence.
But unlike the consequences that led to Gilas playing at the Big Dome devoid of the proverbial sixth man, now public safety is at the core of a possible fan ban. The double-header in San Juan played out similarly to the Gilas-Qatar game in September 2018, a typical game made distinct only by the empty stands.
Monitoring that many people entering the arena is expected to be rigorous, but because there are asymptomatic infections, a slippage could realistically happen. “The athletes, the coaches, they should be the first group to be checked that they’re healthy, that they’re not prone to the virus,” Suzara said.
