My mind is wandering and I cannot concentrate, so I'm coming here to pose a hypothetical question.
Let's say you have a ticket to one of Sunday's NFL games and the games are not rescheduled and refunds are offered. Do you keep the ticket as a form of memoriabilia or get your money back?
P.S. Unless I have missed another announcement, at this time it is undecided as to whether the games will be rescheduled.

Get your money back there will be plenty to remember with out it. Or are
thinking it may be worth something as a collectable? if so, do not count on
it. For example I have never seen any ticket for any event dated 1941 that was valuable.

I'd take the refund. The various sporting event cancellations are far too numerous and peripheral to the historic tragedies which precipitated them to create collector interest. The situation would be different if the tickets were for a sporting event on 9/11 which was held in NYC.
Getting a refund of face value right now will probably be more lucrative than holding onto them to sell as memorabilia. Of course if you want to hold onto them, not to sell but for your own memorabilia, then that's a question you'll have to answer for yourself.

There hasn't been a decision about rescheduling yet - or just cutting back to a 15 game season.. I really can't imagine them adding a game at the end of the season, but they might...

I know I posted this as a hypothetical situation as I was curious as to what others would do. However, I guess I was really searching for what people would think was the "right" thing to do.
I have decided that if the games are cancelled and refunds are offered, I will take the refund money and donate it to the Red Cross. If the games are rescheduled, I will donate what I would have received as a refund to the Red Cross on top of what I have already donated.
