On Monday, the Miami Dolphins announced they will allow a maximum capacity of 13,000 fans for their home opener against the Buffalo Bills, according to Field Yates of ESPN. The team announced that all fans will be required to wear a face mask while inside the stadium. Hard Rock Stadium can hold almost 65,000 fans, but will now be forced to hold fewer to maintain proper social distancing.
When asked about this in his Monday morning conference call, Bills head coach Sean McDermott was not pleased.
“It is what it is, we control what we can control,” said McDermott before getting more pointed.
