With the coronavirus temporarily shutting down all sports, the NFL is in a bit of a dilemma regarding the 2021 salary cap should games be played without fans or with a limited capacity of fans. The Chicago Bears must be prepared.

If you have been paying attention to NFL news this week you already know that stadiums are going to be required to tarp off the first six to eight rows of the stadium to help limit the players’ exposure to fans and the coronavirus. This means the first six to eight rows of seats at Soldier Field will also be tarped off and the Chicago Bears will be out any revenue normally generated by selling those tickets.
