A preview of an empty stadium?
NFL games are going to be missing a lot of fans this year due to social distancing measures designed to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Some teams will be piping in artifical crowd noise to make things seem more normal, which definitely won’t be awkward in any way. Here’s a taste of what it sounds like.

The Panthers are planning on filling the stadium to around 25% capacity this season. However, local officials may not sign off on a crowd that size. We should get a ruling from the county soon on whether or not fans will be allowed to attend the home opener Week 1 against the Raiders.
