City decides no fans this year....

[Mojo in Va]

At least that’s what I’m reading online. No Eagles or Phillies fans. Looks like we will all be “deferring” our tickets. Are the Locals here picking up anything different?

Apparently the Eagles thought it didn't apply to them. The city contacted them directly and squashed it.

Who owns the stadium ? I thought Lurie owned it, if so the city has no say.

Uh huh. That’s how it works.

Not so fast. The city said the ban on large public gatherings only applies to events requiring a permit like parades, etc. Don't think it applies to sporting events.

Doesn't matter to me because I've already opted out. I want my refund ASAP. Probably wasn't going to make that many games this year anyway.

Can you imagine if the Eagles won another SB and the parade was banned?

I deferred mine as well IE. My son and daughter-in-law actually fly up for the games so we thought it best this year as there is/was very little chance the stadium will be allowing people sitting next to each other. Plus they have the added complexity of air travel.

It's ok no apologies needed fellas, sucks being right all the time.

Uh ... local governments are outlawing gatherings in private locations all across the fucking country ... and they can in the interest of public health.

And while the city technically may not be able to force the Eagles to go fanless, the NFL and local municipalities are trying to work together. I imagine that Philadelphia still holds sway with however the Eagles decide to proceed (or not).

I'm pretty sure the city could shut the whole thing down if they really wanted to. But yes they seem to be working with the Eagles.

Did you see where they are thinking of using NRG stadium as a temporary hospital? If that happens there won't be any games being played there.

So much for a NY road game this year. The Jets and Giants announced that they will not put fans into the stadium for home games. I wonder when the rest of the league will follow suit.

i don’t normally care for the tail wagging the dog but if some teams cannot have fans in their stadiums (which Buffalo is also looking at on orders of the thug Cuomo) then no teams should be able to have home fans.

EVERY FOOTBALL CITY, OR NO FOOTBALL CITY. THERE WONT BE A SEASON ANYWAY. ONE GAME, EVERYONE WILL BE TESTED AND IT WILL BE SHUT DOWN.
