The New Orleans Saints did not allow fans at their first three home games, which were against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Chargers.
On Tuesday, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell issued a statement that said Saints season ticket holders will have access to 3,000 tickets available for this Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers.
If things go accordingly, and health and safety measures are met, then the team could be allotted more tickets—up to 6,000 each for the home games against the San Francisco 49ers (Nov. 15) and Atlanta Falcons (Nov. 22). Should things keep improving, then the allotment could reach 15,000 for home games against the Kansas City Chiefs (Dec. 20) and the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas.
Though Saints fans will begin getting access to the games this weekend, the city’s mayor still encourages everyone to wear protective masks in public, maintain social distancing and practice good hygiene.
The Saints are part of the NFC South, which allows all four divisional teams to have fans (along with the AFC South, AFC North). In contrast, the NFC North does not allow fans at any of those team’s venues for now. There are some divisions (AFC East, NFC West) where three teams don’t allow fans, but one team does.
In the NFC East—the worst division in football—three of its teams (Dallas, Philadelphia, Washington) allow fans, whereas the New York Giants won’t at this time.
Tampa Bay, which is allowing limited fans, is the home to this season’s Super Bowl.
