In a press release issued by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf, the state will increase its indoor and outdoor capacities to 50% and 75% respectively. Here’s part of the statement issued:
“The Wolf Administration today announced that event and gathering maximum occupancy limits will be increased to 50 percent for indoor events and gatherings and 75 percent for outdoor events and gatherings effective Monday, May 17 at 12:01 AM.”
That statement should allow many more fans to be at Heinz Field than last year. 75% of the stadium’s capacity is 51,300 fans. Last season, a very limited number of fans were allowed to attend just a handful of home games before they were prohibited entirely for the end of the season.
