Via Washington Post:
The NFL has a contingency plan, which includes a shortened schedule, and playing games in empty stadiums or stadiums that are partially empty.
“I don’t know if it’ll be a one-third-filled stadium, a half-filled stadium or whatever,” a person familiar with the league’s planning told the newspaper on Wednesday. “The NFL is planning for everything from playing without fans to playing in full stadiums. We know there will be a push from the [federal] government to open things up.”
“As we have said, we are committed to protecting the health of our fans, players, club and league personnel, and communities,” the NFL said in a statement to the Post. “We look forward to the 2020 NFL season, and our guidelines and decisions will be guided by the latest advice from medical and public health officials, as well as current and future government regulations. We will continue to plan for the season and will be prepared to adjust as necessary, just as we have done with free agency, the draft, and now the offseason program.”
The NFL scheduled is normally released around this time during the year. However, due to the circumstances, the schedule won’t be released into May 9, and it will be a full 16-game schedule for all 32 teams.
But how would a shorten season look?
At this point in time it’s all a guessing game.
