Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a spectatorless stadium.

Background Art

[0002] The spread of the novel coronavirus is severe, a state of emergency has been declared, and the World Events Olympics and Paralympics have no spectators. Athletes have no competition, and the Olympics themselves lack excitement. The government, which is about to hold an election soon, is also worried about a decline in its approval rating.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] The spread of the novel coronavirus cannot be prevented, so the Olympics have been decided to be spectatorless. Therefore, there is no cheering, and athletes have no competition. Without spectators in the venue, there is no sense of presence. The Olympics lack excitement, and the government's approval rating has dropped to the lowest level. President Bach has also applied to the prime minister for a stadium with spectators.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] A means to solve the problem is to provide the viewing device of the present invention on the seats in the venue while having no spectators to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, and to let the spectators hold the device of the present invention, so as to satisfy the athletes and the spectators, and to link the ticket purchasers to become spectators.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] According to the present invention, athletes can obtain the cheering of the spectators from the real spectator seats, and athletes who see the enthusiastic cheering postures of the spectators in the stands are moved and inspired to perform well. On the other hand, the spectators can watch the places they want to watch following the movements of the athletes as if they were actually watching, obtain a sense of presence and cheer, and maximize their joy. Moreover, the organizers of the Olympics and the like are not required to refund tickets that have already been sold for an event without spectators, thus salvaging economic losses. On the other hand, ticket purchasers, who were disappointed at not being able to attend the event, can still watch it even without spectators. Thus, the present invention is an epoch-making invention that benefits all three parties. Also, TV cameras filming the venue can capture the expressions of joy and disappointment on the faces of the spectators sitting in the seats and broadcast them. The important thing is that there is no popularity (no crowds), no flow of people into the venue, and a great effect that there is no new coronavirus infection. There is also the advantage that broadcasters can conduct the event remotely without being on-site. IOC President Bach hopes for spectators, but Prime Minister Suga can also resolve the political trouble of having no spectators. By doing so, there is a great effect that the Olympics, Paralympics, and other events can be held without spectators as if there were spectators. When the device of the present invention is installed in the seats, if it is installed so that spectators can sit, there is an effect that the venue can be used whether there are no spectators or there are spectators because spectators can sit. Moreover, if it is considered to have spectators and the device for no spectators of the present invention is operated, the number of seats will be effectively doubled and the capacity will be effectively doubled, so the box office revenue will be doubled, and the promoter will obtain a great deal of profit. Also, the present invention includes the case where the seat device of the present invention is not installed and the spectator device of the present invention is not used, but existing devices such as electronic billboards and public address systems are used. In this case, the person in charge in the venue (including announcers, etc.) watches the players' games in the venue. When there are good plays or moments of encouragement, they use the existing public address system to cheer for the players by making announcements or display images of applause on the electronic billboard to support the players. In this case, furthermore, while spectators outside the venue watch using a TV, smartphone, personal computer, or public viewing, listen to the radio, and directly or using the spectator device of the present invention, they can send cheers wirelessly from outside the venue using an existing loudspeaker or the device of the present invention or both, from an existing loudspeaker. Also, spectators outside the venue can display an encouraging image wirelessly using an existing electronic display board in the same manner as described above, or use the device of the present invention to display a cheering message or a video of applause on an existing electronic display board or the device of the present invention. A method of overlapping the cheers from the on-site staff and the cheers from the off-site spectators is also included in the present invention.
