    Just read a tweet from Gerry Dulac who is pretty credible per source that the Steelers will have fans in the stands for their first playoff game next weekend. Don’t know how many yet but I’m hoping it’s around 10-15 thousand where it can at least provide some kind of noise advantage. I see there being no reason they can’t do this many fans and do it in a safe manner. So hopefully it’s more then 5,000 fans.

    I hope that is right. This season is so odd without fans going crazy. Would have loved this game against the Browns to be in front of a packed stadium. It would have been so crazy!!

    Should just hold the game at Walmart, Lowes or Giant Eagle then everyone would be allowed to attend.

    No reason they can't have 15-20K attending these games. Hopefully 2021 will allow us to get back to normalcy.

    Best case scenario Wolf lets 25% capacity that will allow about 16-17,000 people

    but I bet they let 7,500-8,000 people max.

    It's been restrictions galore here in PA.

    So many restaurants, bars and businesses going under, it's crazy.

    The owner of a local restaurant that's been in business here for 60+ years was interviewed on a local news show. He vented his frustration and gave his opinion on how stupid he thinks it is that outdoor dining is shut down as there is no evidence linking outbreaks to outdoor dining. He was hit with a cease and desist order from the county because of his interview.

    Who ever thought running a restaurant in PA would be like running a Speakeasy.

    Cuomo is allowing around 6,000 (give or take) in Buffalo. Uncle Tom will make sure we are safer.

    Hopefully that happens for your in PA. Other teams/ cities have already approved fans in their stands.

    16-17,000 would be great and I think you would definitely notice the noise factor and the players being able to feed off the crowd if that indeed is the case.

    Oh I hear California has a lot restrictions, heck they wouldn't even let the 49ers play their games in their stadium, they had to go to Arizona.
