Notes: Roger Goodell expects NFL stadiums to be full in 2021

As the NFL continues to plan their offseason schedule in the midst of the pandemic, the commission Roger Goodell publicly expressed a huge sense of optimism for the upcoming season.

“We want to see every one of our fans back,” Goodell told the media on Tuesday afternoon. “We expect to have full stadiums in the coming season.”

Last year, many NFL teams closed the stadium to the public for the entire season. Throughout the entire league, attendance was down more than 90 percent, causing a significant loss in revenue that caused an eight percent drop in salary cap for the 2021 season.
