Will There Be Fans At The Super Bowl? Attendance Will Be Different Due To COVID

All sports have suffered from either no fans or limited-capacity attendance amid the pandemic, and this year's Super Bowl won't be an exception.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chief meet Sunday at the Bucs' Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, but there won't be a packed stadium for the most coveted ticket in sports.

Raymond James Stadium has a capacity of 65,618 but Super Bowl LV will only allow 25,000 fans, which marks the lowest attendance in history. Along with the in-person fans, there will 30,000 fan cut-outs to give the impression of a full stadium.

Each ticket-holder will receive their own Personal Protective Equipment.

The #NFL is providing all 25,000 fans with these free PPE kits upon arrival at the stadium for #SBLV.

While the in-person attendance number might be low, the NFL hasn’t had to cancel a game for the entire season due to COVID-19 scares or incidences. The league credits both the players and staff for following protocols and guidelines.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced last week that about 7,500 of those in the stands on Sunday will be vaccinated, health-care workers.

The Super Bowl will air on Sunday, Feb. 7 at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS, CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports app.
