MIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins will allow up to 13,000 socially distanced fans to attend their home opener against Buffalo on Sept. 20, a decision that divided political leaders and upset Bills coach Sean McDermott.
The same plan will be followed for the University of Miami's football home opener against UAB at the Dolphins' stadium on Sept. 10.
Crowd size will be about 20% of the stadium's 65,326-seat capacity, with the limitation imposed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Groups of spectators will be spaced 6 feet apart.
Fifteen of the NFL's 32 teams have ruled out spectators for the start of the season.
