Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper says he thinks there could possibly be some fans in NFL stadiums for the 2020 season, but they won’t be full.
Tepper made his comments in an appearance on CNBC’s show Halftime Report. Here’s what he said, per Kevin Stankiewicz.
“There should be some amount of fans in the stadiums, depending on what locale and where you are and what the local rules are. There could possibly be. . . You won’t be having full stadiums, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fans in the stadium either.”
Having fans in stadiums is a nice thought, but the truth is we don’t know what the pandemic situation will be this fall. It may drag out longer. Some experts are predicting that COVID-19 could last two more years.
Whether we have football with fans, without fans or any football at all ultimately isn’t up to us. Dr. Fauci told Peter King earlier this week that the virus will make the decision.
