The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to impact the NFL, including Super Bowl LV; the crowd capacity has been reduced to just 25,000 live spectators, some of them being vaccinated healthcare workers from around league cities. To help fill out the stands, the NFL has installed life-size cutouts, many of which were purchased by fans, while others feature iconic players, coaches, team personnel, and media personalities from pro football’s storied history.

And at least one of them is wearing black and gold. Former Dallas Cowboys executive Gil Brandt shared a photo from Raymond James Stadium showing his cutout seated shoulder-to-shoulder with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and in the background you can spot Saints quarterback Drew Brees peeking out.

It’s a cool cameo. It’s just a shame that Brees isn’t preparing to play in the game himself. Instead, he’s watching from home like the rest of us, and maybe working on his retirement speech. With a career in broadcasting ahead of him with NBC Sports, he’ll need the practice.

Ohio State football invites you to be at Ohio Stadium this fall, well – sort of

Ohio State Football is offering fans the opportunity to purchase fan cutouts to be placed in Ohio Stadium for the 2020 season

The Ohio State Football team wants to invite you to be at Ohio Stadium this fall… sort of. While the Big Ten Conference is still not allowing actual fans in the stadium, you can have your image and likeness in a seat for a small fee.

Similar to what some Major League Baseball teams did to keep the stadiums from looking completely barren, high-resolution cardboard cutouts can be purchased to have your scarlet and gray face planted in the stands.

Fan cutouts will be located in A-Deck for $50 and a limited number can be purchased on the 50-yard line for $75. Much less expensive than you’d pay for an actual game. Student cutouts will be located in the south stadium stands for only $25.

Orders must be placed by Monday, October 19 at noon EST to have your cutout in the stadium for the first home game of the season against Nebraska. Any orders placed after that time will be added for the next home game on November 7.

If you’d like to be in Ohio Stadium for the 2020 season you can Place Your Order Here.
