The tickets for the final three home games of the season will be on sale beginning next week.
Kansas City Chiefs fans will be able to purchase tickets for the final three home games of the season beginning next week. Starting on Monday, Nov. 2, fans will be able to purchase tickets for the following games:
There will be an exclusive presale for season ticket holders beginning on Monday, Nov. 2. They do the presale in order of tenure, with the oldest season ticket holders getting first dibs on the available seats. Any tickets remaining after the season ticket holder presale will be opened up to Jackson County residents before they’re opened to the general public. As they’ve been all season, tickets will be sold in grouped pods. Fans will be able to purchase as many as six seats in a pod.
The team doesn’t expect any increases in capacity at this time with Arrowhead Stadium remaining right around 22% of its normal capacity due to COVID-19. All of the COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions implemented this season will still apply for the remaining home games.

The New Orleans Saints received approval from the Louisiana state government to host fans at their Week 3 home game, but the city must agree

It’s too soon to make any travel plans, and there is still more progress to be made, but things are trending in the right direction for New Orleans Saints fans to take their seats in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
On Tuesday, the Saints informed season ticket holders in an email that Louisiana state officials have given them the green light to host fans, beginning with a Sept. 27 home game with the Green Bay Packers. But that’s only one rubber stamp the Saints must secure to open their doors. They’re waiting on approval from the New Orleans municipal government, and that hurdle hasn’t been cleared yet.
Louisiana was an early hotspot for infections during the COVID-19 pandemic, though New Orleans itself has consistently turned in lower rates of positive test results throughout the public health crisis. While Mayor LaToya Cantrell likes what she’s seen of the Superdome’s plans to host fans for Saints game days, things haven’t settled down enough just yet for her to sign off on it.
Previously, Cantrell had said that she would agree to hold games without fans in attendance if that lined up with NFL policy and the advice of medical professionals. For its part, the NFL is allowing teams to handle things on a case-by-case basis without a blanket policy, trusting local governments to handle it.
So we’ll have to wait and see if Saints fans will be in the building once the black and gold kicks off. Right now, the Saints are scheduled to play three of their four games without fans: Week 1 at home with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Weeks 2 and 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders and Detroit Lions. The Saints round out their first five weeks in home games with the Packers and Los Angeles Chargers, and it’s possible they could play all five games before their Week 6 bye without fans in attendance.

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, NFL coaches around the league are facing the possibility of no fans at football games in 2020.
To say the United States is sailing through uncharted waters would be the understatement of the year. With the coronavirus pandemic still in force, daily life in America is still upended, especially when it comes to sports.
As the country begins the long process of reopening and resuming some semblance of normalcy, there are plenty of discussions on how to do so in regards to sports, and specifically the NFL. In the age of social distancing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, many discussions are being held about the upcoming 2020 NFL season.
One safety measure being considered is the possibility of playing the season without any fans at the live games. This, of course, is a drastic change and would have a direct impact on the Seahawks, who enjoy one of the league’s most dominant home-field advantages.
When asked about the possibility of no fans at CenturyLink Field, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll gave his thoughts on the matter during his pre-draft press conference.
“I would say that back to my UOP (University of the Pacific) days when we used to play in front of nobody, the game can still be played,” Carroll said. “You know, whatever has to happen; everybody needs to be wide open and ready to adapt and all of that and all aspects of our lives right now and certainly as we approach the season, we are going to have to be prepared. There’s still a great opportunity to show the game to our fans through the media resources, but if that’s the way it is, it will be a different experience, but it can happen.”
Carroll did go on to promise he would do everything in his power to pipe in artificial sound to the stadium to help CenturyLink live up to its status as the loudest stadium in the league.
Of course, Carroll did offer up another suggestion if it comes down to no fans in the stadium. “Well, maybe everybody just watch the game and yell out the window,” he quipped. “We’ll still be relatively really good.”
Given the fact the 12th Man once set a Guinness World Record for being the loudest outdoor crowd in the world, it’s not entirely outside the realm of possibility.
