Patriots Announced Limited Capacity Safety Measures For Fans At Gillette Stadium This Season

Kings of Boston Sports



While it is still far from a guarantee, the New England Patriots are preparing for a limited number of fans to participate at games this season. Due to the pandemic there is no way they can have sold out stadiums this season, but they believe with the correct measures, some fans will be able to enjoy the games.

The team has alerted season ticket holders that if state and local officials allow fans to attend games, Gillette Stadium will only host “about 20 percent of its total capacity.” That means about 13,000 fans would be allowed in to see the Pats play.

From the Patriots’ release:

“Pending state and local approval, should Gillette Stadium be allowed to have fans in the stands this season, it is expected to host about 20 percent of its total capacity. Ticketed parties will be asked to maintain physical distancing of at least six feet from other parties, tickets will be arranged in blocks of 10 seats or less, and the first eight rows of stadium seats will not be used. Additionally, face coverings will be required at all times inside the stadium to keep all attendees safe.

Those 13,000 fans will have to follow several guidelines to adhere to social distancing protocols:

Tickets will be arranged in blocks of 10 seats or less, and the first eight rows of stadium seats will not be used
