Interesting article, nothing breaking news but mentions all the teams.

LINK

Of note:

quote:

NFC SOUTH

Falcons: The team announced in an email to season ticket members they will have a limited capacity of up to 10,000-20,0000 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for home games during the 2020 NFL season.

Bucs: The Bucs are hoping for 25% capacity at Raymond James for all games, which includes filled luxury suits. First 8 rows from the field will be left empty. That’s the lead plan, buy are considering multiple options given state of flux with Covid-19.

Panthers: A team spokesman said that there is currently no update on the number of fans that will be allowed.

I don’t think it’s fair for some teams to have fans and others not. Either they all do or none of them do. JMO

If John Bel Edwards isn’t allowing prep football in Louisiana then surely the Saints will have to move to San Antonio or something

I'm thinking this doesn't mean good things for LSU. Maybe our decision as ticket holders will be made for us.

So far, the NFL is saying they won't issue any league-wide policy, but I think that may well end up changing. it's an issue of competitive fairness, IMO.

If you can’t overcome 10k fans in masks in a sprawling arena- you aren’t competitive to begin with

They also have to be careful with anti trust issues. It’s 32 separate businesses technically which may impact this policy if not effecting things like player health (union negotiated)
