If fans are unable to attend NFL games due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Kansas City Chiefs should borrow an idea from their neighbors across the parking lot at the Truman Sports Complex.
The Kansas City Royals recently announced that season ticket holders would have the chance to become a “Fanbassador” and order a plastic cutout of their likeness to be displayed in a seat at Kauffman Stadium. The cutout will cost $40 dollars and some of the proceeds will benefit the Royals Respond Fund, which supports Kansas City area nonprofits organizations fighting hunger during the coronavirus pandemic.
While the MLB will resume their 2020 season without fans, the NFL is pushing full-steam ahead with the goal of having fans at games in 2020. The most recent reports say the league is considering having fans sign a coronavirus liability waiver in order to attend games.
The NFL still has some details to iron out ahead of the season, but we don’t yet know for certain if fans will be allowed in Arrowhead Stadium for the 2020 season. Even if the NFL allows fans, this “Fanbassador” program could be a nice opportunity for the Chiefs to help fans who want to show their support for the team but aren’t willing to risk their health and safety. If a portion of the proceeds went to a good cause, it’d make it an even more worthwhile endeavor for the team.
If you were unable to attend games in 2020 would you purchase a plastic cutout of your likeness to have in Arrowhead Stadium? Be sure to let us know your thoughts and share the photo you would use on Facebook, Twitter and the Chiefs Wire forums.
