The Washington Football Team announced Wednesday that they will not have fans in the stands at FedExField for the 2020 NFL season during the pandemic.
Washington says the decision not to have fans in the stadium was made with the health and safety of its fans and employees and also out of an abundance of caution given how fluid the COVID-19 situation is.
The team says a decision will be re-evaluated should the situation with COVID-19 improve during the season.
“We are fortunate to host the best fans in the NFL year after year, but the well-being of those supporters, along with that of our players, coaches and each and every member of our gameday staff is simply too important, and the current knowledge of COVID-19 too unpredictable, to welcome our fan base to FedExField to start the season,” said Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder.
