It was announced last week that the state of Maryland was going to allow fan attendance at Washington Football Team and Baltimore Ravens games, with a cap at 10% of the stadium capacity.
Initially, there were reports that Washington was not planning to allow fans at the games, but they may be changing course now. In an interview with WJLA on Tuesday, Washington team president Jason Wright said that there could be fans at the November 8th game against the New York Giants, but not sooner than that.
“We have the bye week coming up after this,” Wright said. “It gives us plenty of time to be prepared to do something substantial in the coming week. We have a plan to bring back fans. If you want to pencil something on the calendar, I would look at the Giants week. That gives us the right time to prepare.”
After the performance against the Giants this past weekend, it’s fair to wonder how many fans would choose to visit FedEx Field in order to watch the team in person if they were given the green light, but at the very least, it’s good to see that Washington is working towards that direction.
