Should Fans be Allowed at NFL Football Games?

This year's NFL football season is one like never before. Coaches are wearing plastic visors during the games and the players are tested daily.  Now home teams have to stay in a hotel the night before the game.  The away team must arrive one day in advance.  The players doing the coin toss are required to have a face cover and the players sitting on the sideline are recommended one. There is also a limit to the number of players in the locker rooms.

 

The NFC North is not allowing fans for at least the first two games but hopes to socially distancing fans soon.  Some fields have new air filtration systems to help have fans.  Many have over 250 sanitation systems as long with glass dividers where they are needed.  Some teams have decided when they will start letting fans in already.

 

This season the teams that let fans in are required to wear a mask no matter what the state regulations are.  There are many people that don’t think there should be fans in the stadiums and there are many that think that it is fine.  I personally think that it will work if they have practice social distancing procedures and sanitize when possible.  Do you think they should allow fans?  If they do allow fans what are some more things they might be able to do to keep people safe?

  • Good topic choice and good job replying William. Your summary is well doen but I do wish you would have included more of your thoughts into it.

  • I think there should be fans aloud into the games as long as they are social distanced and they have masks on.  Also there is sucrity and if people want to eat they should be able to bring in their own food as long as security checks that they have no weapons.

  • I think there should be fans if they follow the rules such as, wearing a face mask, sitting distance from others. I also think people play better when theres people there watching them. However, I also dont think there should be fans, Its very dangerous. Higher risk of getting sick. 

  • Now is not the time to risk your life to go to a football game. Hundreds of people in a group is a very bad idea. If we would've followed the rest of the world in their handling of covid we would be in a much better place. I understand that it is frustrating that everything is different, but the sooner we accept it and follow  the rules, the sooner we can get back to normal. 

  • I think that fans should be allowed at the games as long as proper guildelines are followed (social distancing, sanitation, masks, etc.). I think that if they were going to allow fans, the number of fans allowed would obviously have to be much lower. I also think that food shouldn't be sold at the games, just to keep people from walking around and interacting, especially if the people don't follow mask rules. There's safe ways to go about letting fans into the games; however, it depends on if people will comply with the rules. 

    • I agree with you because I also think fans should be allowed and with all the guidelines and requirments you talk about I think it could work pretty easy.

  • I think that you should be alowed to have fans at the game because you can wear a mask and you could have half the people in the stands so that you can stay six feet apart and I think that the football players would play better with all the fans there to give them energy.

  • i think that they should alow fans into the NFL football game but they should have to were a mask and be 6 feet apart. there should the 2-3 seats inbetween each fan and the game. the fans behind them should be 1-2 rows back so that they are not breathing on them, thay should have a lot of sanition systems all over the place.

    • I agree with you because I think that it is also a good idea to require a mask and have very many sanitation stations everywhere.  I also liked how you talked about the seating arrangement and explained how it should be done very well.

  • I think they shouold allow a certain amount of people in. Since the staduims are so big they should go only like half capacity or less to allow people to socialy distance. It would be nice for the players to have some fans to hype them up a little bit, and it will also help by bringing in some money.
