One thing is certain: A “new normal” is coming to NFL venues, just as it is barreling into society at large as virtually every state in the nation is in the process of re-opening.
In the meantime, Cannon, like others running league, team and stadium operations for various entities in all sports, weighs the logistics in addition to the psychology that will be in play for the day fans ultimately return to the venues.Maybe not. In a world where face masks and social distancing are established measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, the notion of being comfortable gathering in a stadium packed with, say, 70,000 spectators is daunting.
Now comes a new challenge for an operation on the cutting edge among NFL peers to move the needle on that reputation. It’s a given, though, that the days of opening gates two hours before kickoff with a mob scene are over. That process will begin earlier — without the mob scene. Cannon said they are considering designating specific gates for fans to enter that would depend on the location of their seats. More shocking could be an appointed time window for fans to enter — which is even more intriguing, considering the late-arriving crowds that are a Falcons tradition.
"Out of necessity," Cannon said,"people will accept certain inconveniences that in the old world would have been inconceivable."
