The Saints reached an agreement with Mayor LaToya Cantrell to roll out a phased spectator policy for the remaining New Orleans home games at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome this year.
Cantrell’s office had been reluctant to give the Saints a green light to admit large crowds of fans to the Superdome amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but now they’ll get an opportunity to attempt doing that safely.
For starters, just 3,000 Saints season-ticket holders will be eligible for Sunday’s matchup with the Panthers. if all goes well, the plan is for that to scale up over the rest of the season.
Described as a “phased and deliberate pilot approach” in a statement from the team, this compromise will at least allow some members of the Who Dat Nation to make their voices heard inside the Superdome
