The Washington football team announced Wednesday that the 2020 season will begin that NFL enthusiasts provide at FedExField due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This resolution will be “reassessed across all parties if the pandemic scenario improves the season.”
Team owner Dan Snyder in the announcement:
“We are fortunate to welcome the NFL’s most productive enthusiasts year after year, however, the well-being of those enthusiasts, as well as that of our players, coaches and members of our gaming team is too important, and the existing wisdom of COVID-19 too unpredictable, to accommodate our fan base at FedExField to start the season.
“We were the first team in the league to call our scouts and other area staff in mid-March and have been following this evolving scenario ever since. This resolution is not simple, but after several discussions with the federal government and local officials. – with the input of some of the country’s leading medical experts, founded right here in the nation’s capital – we are convinced that this is the right one. We are running to locate tactics to make our fans feel in new and cutting-edge tactics by 2020 and look forward to welcoming the net through the gates as soon as it’s safe.”
The announcement says the team will provide more information on how enthusiasts can overtake their Week 1 home game team against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 13.
ESPN’s JEREMY Fowler reported that one concept is “virtual fans,” which can allow others to use a house’s webcam to “assist” the game. The NBA used the concept for its “bubble” games at the Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida.
The franchise announced in July that its old nickname, a racist slur for Native Americans, would be removed and replaced through the Washington football team until a new nickname was selected.
The equipment will still have the same color palette, but the helmet logo will be replaced with numbers:

Although the NFL has so far left decisions about whether fans can attend games to individual groups based on COVID-19 regional guidelines, it showed in July that facials would be mandatory for anyone attending a game in the 2020 season:

Week 1 of the crusade is scheduled to begin on September 10 with the protection of Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs, the Houston Texans.
The normal season is scheduled to end on January 3, followed by the playoffs, which are scheduled to end super Bowl LV on February 7 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
“I hope to be a Dallas Cowboy for the rest of my career”
“I’m able to prove that this is the most productive Le’Veon Bell I’ve ever played in the NFL.”
