Teams would save some money if there were no fans because they wouldn't pay gameday employees (ushers, beer vendors, etc.). Although they have already committed to paying them some whether or not there are games. However, they also wouldn't get any revenues from concessions or parking and would have reduced revenues from merchandising and sponsorships, so I believe the net profit, even excluding player salaries and TV money, would still be pretty negative for playing in empty stadiums.
