As NFL teams prepare for a season set to be played during the COVID-19 pandemic, some clubs have announced reduced stadium capacities for 2020.
The Broncos have not yet announced any capacity limits and team president/CEO Joe Ellis said on July 28 that the status of fans possibly attending games is still up in the air.
“We want to do the right thing,” Ellis said. “I don’t have a set number of fans for you nor do I know when fans will be in the stands. We’re going to work through that.
“We’re going to do that in partnership with the governor and the mayor, the City of Denver. Whatever we do, we’ll have the health and safety and welfare of our fans, our players, our coaches, our entire staff [in mind].”
Ellis said the Broncos will have Empower Field at Mile High prepared to host fans with extra safety precautions this fall. If fans are allowed, Denver will be ready to host them.
“There’s so much going on here and there’s so much going on trying to host fans in the stands,” Ellis said. “We will be prepared when that day comes, if it comes.”
