I think that if there are fans, then there will be definitely be limited fans in the stands. Or maybe hardly any at all. I could see the NFL looking out what other leagues are doing and maybe modeling some of what they do after them. Especially if some of the other leagues are able to successfully complete their seasons/tournaments.

There are more sports starting to come back and some of them are coming out rolling. I had mentioned this in the pandemic thread but The Basketball Tournament is successfully going on right now and MLS came back yesterday. I've looking at some of these leagues/tournaments and while they are dealing with big changes, they still seem to be operating normally on the field/court etc....There is also some physical contact going on, and players that are participating seem comfortable with still playing

Maybe the NFL can learn from some from them in how they continue to go about planning their upcoming season. I do think that it's good that people in some of these leagues aren't allowing themselves to be paralyzed by this virus. (They acknowledge some people will test positive for this virus, but they are still trying to adjust to things as best as they can.) People are better off if they learn to make adjustments to what's going on, instead of just opting to completely cancel/shut stuff down. Especially if they don't necessarily have to. Things can't be 100% perfect, but sports can still function at least to some degree.
