The New England Patriots remain optimistic that they will be able to have fans attend games during the 2020 season.
The team sent a letter to season ticket holders Thursday, reminding them payments are due June 30, The Boston Globe’s Ben Volin reported.
The news came despite Dr. Anthony Fauci, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, recently telling CNN that it would be difficult to play football this fall unless teams play in a bubble because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“We remain optimistic for the return of football and we are preparing to play each home game as scheduled in front of our Season Ticket Members this fall,” the letter to season ticket holders said, according to Volin.
