Tennessee Titans will re-open the doors of Nissan Stadium for their fans next month. This was confirmed by the team in an official statement issued on Thursday.
According to the Titans, fans will be allowed back to the stadium in a limited capacity in October after the Nashville officials and city’s Public Health Department gave a green light for the plan.
Fans will be able to attend games starting October 4, when Pittsburgh Steelers come to town. The capacity of Nissan Stadium for this game will be capped at 10 percent (close to 7,000 seats). For the two following games against Buffalo Bills on October 11 and against Houston Texans on October 18, the capacity will be increased to 12.5 percent and 15 percent, respectively.
“We are thrilled to welcome fans back to Nissan Stadium,” said Titans president and CEO Burke Nihill in a statement. “We feel confident that our Safe Stadium Plan will give everyone a safe and comfortable experience as they return to our gates.”
Most NFL teams that played their Week 1 games at home didn’t have fans on stands due to coronavirus pandemic-related concerns. However, this is likely to change as the season progress since several organizations hinted that they are thinking about following Titans’ lead.
