The Miami Dolphins got word today that they can increase stadium capacity to 65,000 fans.
On Wednesday, Florida entered phase three reopening and in doing so the Miami Dolphins are now allowed to have 65,000 fans in the stadium.
As I read the news I wondered if increasing stadium capacity was a good idea. On one hand, 65,000 fans in the stadium is good for the team and the fanbase but does it really matter if everyone ends up sick like doing the wave?
