As Philly fans we can be biased so... The Eagles would be at a massive disadvantage if they had to play behind closed doors without fans.

I kinda agree about all the things you can hear in the UFC without fans.  But you still miss the crowd going crazy during an intense exchange of punches or when someone gets dropped or KO'ed the roar of the crowd.

You make me wish I could go to a bar w/o fans. Oh yeah that's called my house. But I've retired from ppv lol

But yea I think it'd be bland watching an NFL game on TV w/o the fans

Greed will overcome any virus. Eventually you will see fans even if it literally kills them. 

Easy there big guy... no one would be forcing the fans to attend the games if they did allow them.  The individual would then have the choice of whether or not they wanted to take that sort of risk.

But NFL teams make a ton of money through home games. Ticket sales, parking, concessions, in-arena advertising and marketing sponsorships.  It's a lot of dough. 

I think you’ll see a lot of those advertisements set up around the field like they do in hockey on the boards.

I think they should have cameras throughout the city bars restaurants tailgaters peoples homes. And when a big play happens put it on the big screen at the stadium

Well, we won't have to see that stupid flag going up in Seattle.

How about only allowing season ticket holders (and whoever they resell to)?

How about getting on with our lives. Do some research into the swine flu of 1968-69

And they will go because everyone keeps telling them how much they miss it. The owners do not have to open those doors, but they will.

And the people don't have to go.  That's the beauty of living in a free country.  Choose to take the risk, or stay home and watch on TV.

The NFL has been alienating fans in attendance for years now, this was naturally the next step, virus or not

Evidenced by the change from the Vet to Lincoln.

Heck people don’t have to go on the beach either, but they’re going. They also don’t have to take guns into state department building filled of the juice of their favorite political talking head and they’re doing that too. I stand by my point. Greed will overcome and there will be people in the stands regardless if it kills them.

If there is football this fall and they do allow fans at games, chances are there will be many empty seats still.  I'd say stadiums maybe fill 60-80% capacity.  But alot of fans will choose to stay away from crowds for awhile.

And people still smoke cigarettes too, and the odds of that killing people is much, much higher.

Well, choose to take the risk, then potentially bring home a deadly virus to the people that chose to stay home,  would be the whole story....

Yet they can’t smoke cigarettes next to you in the stands. So how free is this free country anyways?

Those people can stay quarantined in their house for the next 3 years if they like. What does that mean? That means YOU can tell people not to come into your house if they have been out and about. That's called personal responsibility.

Personal responsibility is not bringing home a virus to your wife and kids because you wanted to go watch Ben Simmons not take a jumper. Personal freedom is having the choice to do it anyway.

Not sure what your point is. Whether you want to call it personal responsibility or freedom, the wife should tell her hubby that if he goes to a basketball game, he needs to stay quarantined somewhere else for 14 days before he comes home (assuming she is that concerned about it). Or, he doesn't go to the game.

Maybe that’s for the best. Now we can see teams play on an even playing field. May the better team win.

Not sure i agree with that, esp in Philly. Im a season ticket holder and know a lot of people that are the same. Havent heard a single person say they would not go. Instead just the oppt. 

I also just bough Tickets to the Eagles at Pittsburgh and the single game tickets sold out in about a hour. Yea thats no mins like in Philly. But i think fans are ready to go and wont hold back. Those that do will sell their tickets with ease resulting still in packed house. yes in some that are not as popular like Dallas or Jacksonville etc they could be less. But the heavy NFL fan towns, they will still be a packed house if allowed.
