30 NFL teams approved for full capacity stadiums

NFL executive Peter O'Reilly said Tuesday that 30 of 32 NFL clubs are approved to open their home stadiums at 100% capacity for the 2021 season, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts are the only teams that don't have the go-ahead, but "both have a clear path" to get approval before August, Reilly added.

Rules on masking and vaccinations for those in attendance will be determined by teams and their state and local health guidelines, Pelissero notes.

The COVID-19 pandemic prevented a large number of clubs from having fans in the stands throughout the 2020 season. However, the NFL has been hopeful of bringing fans back since the offseason began. Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke about the league's plans to operate at full capacity in March.

Numerous stadiums have already announced plans to host full capacity events, including MetLife Stadium and SoFi Stadium, among others.

The NFL also told teams Tuesday that fans are expected to be allowed to attend training camp but are still finalizing protocols with the players' union.
