Ravens opening M&T Bank Stadium to 250 Ravens family members Week 3 vs. Chiefs
For the first time during the 2020 NFL season, M&T Bank Stadium will have live fans in the stands. The Baltimore Ravens announced they’re opening up seats for 250 very specific guests when they take on the Kansas City Chiefs on “Monday Night Football.”
According to a statement from the Ravens, the 250 people in the stands will be made up of immediate family members of players, coaches, and front-office staff. The allowance of 250 spectators was recently permitted by Maryland’s Department of Health, opening the door for Baltimore to put butts back in seats. However, it does come with some important caveats as well. According to the statement, in order for family members to be eligible to attend, they must be living in the same household and are required to wear a mask as well as follow safety protocols.
While it’s a small number and not actual fans, it points to the potential of fans being able to attend games at some point this season. That’s a long road from where things were just a few months ago when there was very real concern the 2020 season wouldn’t happen at all.
