New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said on Monday he is hopeful capacity crowds will be allowed into MetLife Stadium for the 2021 NFL season.
"I’d say the prospects are pretty good," he said at his daily briefing when asked about the subject.
The NFL will announce its 2021 schedule on Wednesday, which will include 17 regular-season games at MetLife Stadium hosted by the Giants and Jets.
No fans were allowed to attend Giants or Jets home games in the 2020 season because of the pandemic.
With MetLife Stadium having fixed seating, Murphy said the key to allowing full houses will be anticipated changes to the CDC recommendations regarding six-foot social distancing.
