With the uncertainty surrounding the 2020 NFL season amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Chicago Bears sent a letter to season-ticket holders Monday regarding the possibility of games being played at Soldier Field.
In the letter, the Bears offer season-ticket holders the option of a full refund for the 2020 season, while still being able to renew their season tickets in 2021. But they’re not ruling out having fans in the stands this season.
“The presence of and the exact number of fans that will be allowed into Soldier Field has not yet been determined,” the Bears said, via the Chicago Tribune. “Our hope is to build a model that provides the opportunity to see the Bears play this fall to as many Season Ticket Holders as possible. We will communicate your options as soon as a plan is finalized.
“Given all of the current uncertainties, we want to inform you that one option will be to provide you a full refund for the 2020 season while still retaining your ability to renew your season tickets in 2021 in your same seat location.”
At this point, just having football would be considered a win, even if fans won’t be in attendance. But the Bears remain optimistic that they’ll have some fans in attendance at Soldier Field this season.
