When the Cleveland Browns travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens in Week 1, the teeming throngs in purple and black won’t be so menacing. In fact, the stadium will have a decidedly docile feel compared to normal.
The Ravens sent out an email to PSL holders that revealed a plan to limit attendance to fewer than 14,000 people per game in order to comply with social distancing restrictions. Baltimore’s stadium, M&T Bank Stadium, seats 71,008. The restricted entry will cut attendance to about 20 percent of capacity.
“To offer a proper level of safety for fans who want to attend games, a reduction in capacity is necessary,” Ravens president Dick Cass said in the email. “We are disappointed that this will be a disruption for many ticket buyers, but we have an obligation to our fans and our community to keep M&T Bank Stadium as safe as possible.”
The Ravens are still working on how to manage the desire of PSL holders who wish to attend games and the limited seating capacity.
