Philadelphia Eagles to play home games without fans in attendance during 2020 NFL season

In a move that will break the hearts of Eagles fans, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney on Tuesday announced a moratorium on all large public events that require public permits through February.

Events at private venues, including sports stadiums, aren’t affected by that ban, and city officials said the teams would be allowed to play without crowds per The Inquirer.

In a move that will likely cause some friction between both parties, it was a move made by the city of Philadelphia in lieu of rising coronavirus cases.

The Eagles had previously sent out notices to season ticket holders notifying them that they wouldn’t be charged their deferred payment and fans could look towards 2021 without penalty.

That now seems to be future, with Eagles home games played at an empty Lincoln Financial Field.
