Like many professional sports teams, the Tennessee Titans won’t have fans in the stands for their first home game of 2020, but they are offering their fans an opportunity to attend games in spirit.
The team announced on Wednesday that fans can purchase cardboard cutouts to be displayed in the end zone seats at the September 20 home opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars for $50. Net proceeds from the sales will go to the Tennessee Titans Foundation.
Season-ticker holders will get the first crack at it, though. The deadline to submit is August 28 at 5 p.m. CT.
Represent in @NissanStadium for our home opener with your own Titans cutout!

It also appears there might be another option for fans to get a cardboard cutout in the stadium for no charge, as Paul Kuharsky noted.
#Titans hope to feature fans on the bunting around the field, on the wall that circles the playing surface. They've asked for submissions from season-ticket members to start.

Nope. $50 for an end zone cutout, with a charity element. 0 for this.

After this was announced, fans on social media started a campaign to get as many cardboard cutouts as possible of the late Matt Neely, who was a legend on Titans social media and a superfan of the team.
