    I swear I thought it said, "We are pleased to welcome our black fans to Heinz field."

    I had to read it 3 times.

    :facepalm:

    They are only using the lower seating bowl which will make it look better and will be easier to clean.

    But it does pose the question:

    If you paid for a club seat or private box ticket, are you getting the balance back vs the face value of the seat you get? Hmm..

    I’m glad I opted out. I’m spoiled. I don’t want to sit down low with the peasants.

    Ridiculous they can’t at least have 10 to 15 thousand. I guess 5,500 is better then nothing and I’m sure the fans there will make a lot of noise and be into the game.

    All 7500 will be Eagles fans and will be seated in a confined section that seats 750. :cool:

    Wouldn’t matter if Heinz field held as many as beaver stadium, Gov Wolf limited the crowd to 7500 because “science” or because when he was a child and ordered an ice cream cone they didn’t hear him ask for sprinkles and do he didn’t get any. As we all know, sprinkles are for winners. So, 7,500 it is.

    I had similar thought, have no idea how the seating selection works but Steeler fans in need of money sell their tickets and we have a lot of eagle fans there.

    Yes, from the state

    For outdoor events:

    Maximum occupancy of 0-2,000 people -- 25% capacity allowed

    Maximum occupancy of 2,001-10,000 people -- 20% capacity allowed

    Maximum occupancy over 10,000 people -- 15% capacity allowed, up to 7,500 total


    Officials also emphasized that venues must still require visitors to follow 6-foot social distancing requirements and wear masks.

    1. It’s a start. 2. It’s more than the Chargers draw without restrictions, so there’s that....

    Please fans ensure you 6 foot distance from one another while watching players smash face first into each other sweating and spraying germs all over the field.;)

    The 7500 is the total capacity, but they're only allowing 5500 fans. It's hard to imagine that there are 2000 that are players, coaches, trainers, officials, broadcaster, media, ticket takers and vendors, etc. But that's what they're doing.

    Step forward but I thought the idiot governor's choice of lockdown along with putting covid cases into nursing homes was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge a couple weeks ago... Crazy.
