With our key health metrics low and stable, we are taking steps to allow more spectators, including @Ravens and @WashingtonNFL fans, to safely attend games in the stands. Outdoor sporting venues will be limited to 10% of total capacity.

The Governor of Maryland, Larry Hogan, announced on Friday that the state was taking steps to allow sporting events to safely allow fans back in the stands to watch games, which would mean that there is a path forward for both the Washington Football Team and Baltimore Ravens to start filling the seats on Sundays.
As of now, neither Washington nor the Ravens have allowed fans yet, outside of family members for players and coaches.
Governor Hogan said that fan attendance would be limited at 10% of the stadium’s capacity.
We pondered earlier this week what it would take for Washington to start opening up FedEx Field to outside fans, and with Maryland being on the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to risk of COVID-cases, with just 67-per-10,000, it seems reasonable to expect that we might see the ticket booths open up sooner rather than later.
