NFL commissioner Roger Goodell (centre) says the league hopes to see full houses in stadiums next season
LOS ANGELES – NFL chief Roger Goodell said Tuesday he expects stadiums to operate at full capacity next season as the league confirmed plans for an expanded 17-game schedule.
Speaking on a conference call during the NFL’s owners meeting, Goodell said the league wanted fans back following a 2020 campaign in which stadiums were often empty due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We are also discussing our plans to welcome back all of our fans for the 2021 season across the country at all NFL stadiums,” Goodell said.
“All of us in the NFL want to see every one of our fans back. Football is simply not the same without fans, and we expect to have full stadiums in the upcoming season.”
