Miami Dolphins President/CEO Tom Garfinkel laid out his team’s plans Monday on “Good Morning America,” describing how going to an NFL game will become much like ordering takeout from a restaurant or grocery shopping during the pandemic. All fans would wear masks, and colored spots on the ground outside the stadium would indicate proper social distancing as spectators wait to enter. Food would be ordered from the seat and then picked up at the designated concession stand, eliminating the need for lines.
Entering and exiting the stadium also would change to give everyone more space.
“We would have times to come in for security at different gates so people would be separated out, in terms of when they enter the stadium,” Garfinkel said. “We would exit the stadium much like a church environment, where each row exits so people aren’t filing out all at the same time in a herd.”
To accomplish this, capacity might have to be limited, ABC reported. Instead of the 65,000 fans Hard Rock Stadium can hold, attendance could be held to only 15,000 for the 2020 season so everyone can keep a proper distance. Left unsaid was how the Dolphins would handle this limitation considering that the team’s season ticket base most likely exceeds 15,000. (In 2012, for example, it was 30,000.)

What about the restroom? After the tailgating and a few beverages inside, how they gonna control nature? And we all know the ladies all have to go in a pack.
Whole New meaning to Roll Tide...
How about those Chumps actually demonstrate that they give a crap about our Union?
I do not care what happens to the NFL. They gave me and my Flag the finger 3 years ago and I have not watched a game since.
Screw them.
Best Stadiums:
The Big House
Ohio Stadium
Neyland Stadium
Beaver Stadium
Tiger Stadium (LSU)
LA Memorial Colosseum
The Rose Bowl
And of course, The Swamp!
Same here.
I used to live in FL. The thought of wearing a mask at a game in the heat is unappealing (not that that is the only unappealing thing about this “plan”)
I went to 2 NFL games last year. Everyone is crammed through the few security gates and it takes 40 minutes to enter. I can’t imagine how this would work. You’d have to line up the night before.
Who orders food at NFL games?
Just let your players kneel again..You won’t have to worry about all this timed entries and other nanny bs.
It’s sheer nonsense, and ALL the entertainment/sports/travel industry are gonna have to admit this, sooner rather than later.
You’re either open for bidness, or you’re not.
After boycotting the NFL for the last few seasons, I can assure you the pro football is not an essential business. It was before Kapernick but now it’s a public nuisance.
Polo. That’s one sport where people can socially distance themselves and since there aren’t really any Polo fans, they won’t have to limit the attendance.
This whole social distance mask nonsense it really a joke.
Trump got snookered by his advisors.
Snooker. There’s another sport you can socially distance. You don’t have to get closer than 6 feet from your opponent and nobody will pay to watch it.
Bump
They are dreaming - attracting over 10,000 might take some doing even without the virus. :)
15-yard penalty if any player touches another player.
Players must use hand wipes on football before recovering a fumble.
Passes thrown by quarterback must be at least six-feet away from receiver.
Cue the Hootie & The Blowfish song.

Maybe they can bring back the Horrible Hankies and use them for masks.
"Please do not touch certain areas of your body while on the field."
Wouldn’t doubt it...can you imagine the “make up for lost gate revenue” plan.....ads between every snap and streaming all over the TV screen during play...even worse than what we already get...
