Things are going to look a lot different for the National Football League on gamedays in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
A number of teams have already announced no fans will be in the stadiums for the first few matchups of the season and now it seems even more changes are being made ahead of the first game of the year, which is slated for Sept. 10.
The NFL has now banned cheerleaders and mascots from taking the field in 2020 according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, who tweeted the news on Wednesday. In addition, sideline and pregame reporters will also not be allowed on the field on gamedays.
It might be quite some time before Seahawks fans get to witness a full game-day experience as the team has announced no 12s will be in the stands of CenturyLink Field for at least the first three home games of the season.
Seattle’s opener in Atlanta will also be without fans in attendance.
