Texas governor Greg Abbott says outdoor sports arenas can be at 25 percent capacity this summer

Texas sports fans will be allowed to experience live sports in person in 2020. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott approved an order Thursday that would allow outdoor sports facilities to operate at 25 percent capacity this summer.

Abbott, 62, has already given the green light for sports to resume in Texas on May 31. In order to host fans, teams will have to apply and receive approval from the Texas Department of State Health Services, according to the Texas Tribune.

The order would hypothetically allow the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans and Texas Rangers to host fans in 2020.
