The Arizona Cardinals’ first two home games of the season are not open to the public. The team already announced no fans will be allowed to attend for last week’s game against the Washington Football Team and their upcoming game against the Detroit Lions this coming Sunday.
However, they have received permission to allow some people to attend the game in the stands as a way to test their health and safety protocols.
Reported by multiple publications, the team announced on its official website that they can have up to 750 spectators made up of close family and friends of players, coaches and staff.
This will be a key step to the return of fans to games, although the conditions in the Phoenix area are still not such that large gatherings can be permitted.
If all goes well with the smaller group of spectators, and if things improve in the state with COVID numbers, the Cardinals could be in position to be able to allow at least a limited number of fans to attend future games.
After the Cardinals play the Detroit Lions this weekend, they go on the road for three games. Their next home game will be October 25 when they host the Seattle Seahawks.
