Players for the Miami Dolphins take a break between practice drills during training camp last Friday. When the regular season begins, they'll be playing in front of a smaller-than-normal crowd due to coronavirus restrictions.Players for the Miami Dolphins take a break between practice drills during training camp last Friday. When the regular season begins, they'll be playing in front of a smaller-than-normal crowd due to coronavirus restrictions.
At a news conference Monday at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel said in addition to social distancing measures, face masks will be required for all fans and stadium employees. The stadium has upgraded its air conditioning filters and is adopting touchless entry and food ordering along with other measures. The Dolphins say the stadium is the first to receive certification from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council.
The plans to welcome fans to the stadium were approved by Florida's Governor and the mayor of Miami-Dade County. The announcement follows several weeks in which Florida has seen its numbers of coronavirus cases decline.Garfinkel says for now, seats will be sold for the first University of Miami home game against University of Alabama at Birmingham and the first Dolphins game against the Buffalo Bills on September 20.
A few other NFL teams including the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Falcons and the Dallas Cowboys have also said they will have a limited number of fans at their home openers. Several teams have said they won't have fans for their first home games. The prospect of some teams playing at home before fans, while others compete in empty stadiums has raised concerns it could provide an unfair advantage.
