There will be fans at Arrowhead Stadium when the Kansas City Chiefs kick off the 2020 NFL season against the Houston Texans on Sept. 10.

The defending Super Bowl champions said Monday that Arrowhead Stadium could host up to 22 percent capacity during the season. With a max capacity at more than 76,000, the stadium could have more than 15,000 in attendance as the Chiefs play their first game at home since beating the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV.

The Chiefs said their plan to host thousands of fans had been approved by the mayor of Kansas City and the city’s health and emergency management directors.
