The Seattle Seahawks had hoped to have fans in the stands at some point during the 2020 NFL season but that may not be the case. Based on the recent surge of COVID-19 cases around the country and the Seattle area, the team made the difficult decision to announce Lumen Field would remain empty for at least the next two home games.
“Due to the current case counts of COVID-19 in our state, we will continue playing without fans in attendance at our home games on Dec. 6 (vs. N.Y. Giants) and Dec. 13 (vs. N.Y. Jets),” the statement reads. “We are continuing to work closely with local public health and government officials and are committed to following their lead to keep our community safe. We will keep fans informed as decisions are made for our Dec. 27 home game and beyond. We continue to urge all fans to remain vigilant with physical distancing, mask wearing and following all local guidelines.”
The Seahawks will square off against the Eagles in Philadelphia this Monday night in yet another prime-time appearance.
