Since when do women play best-of-five?
it's easy to see both sides in this argument. Playing to a post-midnight empty stadium is terrible, and it compromises the level of play. That said, there are plenty of other tough conditions that people have had to play under (extreme heat, extreme cold, sun in the eyes, noise, etc.) and that "survival" element is part of the game as well.
