This week, the Seattle Seahawks were one of the first teams to reportedly have some sort of contingency plan for the next NFL season given the complications caused by coronavirus.
Whether the NFL will run with full crowds (not a possibility many are still considering at the moment), partial crowds, no crowds, or even having games postponed and canceled, it’s all being considered. The Seahawks may be thinking of going at 50% capacity, roughly 20,000 fans, when home games resume according to Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune.
A league source with knowledge of their contingency planning told The News Tribune the Seahawks are exploring the possibility of playing their eight regular-season home games in a half-filled CenturyLink Field, because of social-distancing requirements in the coronavirus pandemic.
