Roger Goodell Anticipates Full Stadiums This Fall

The NFL has just been chock full of news this offseason, from the negotiations of the salary cap to the negotiations of the new television deals, the installation of a new 17-game season, the expansion of international games, and so on and so forth.

But the most important bit is this: at least currently, the NFL intends to have stadiums at full capacity when they return to play in September. Stadium attendance was down some 90 percent in 2020 in comparison to the year before as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, which cost the league several billion in revenue and led to the salary cap shortfall they are dealing with today.
