With each passing day in our COVID-19 world, we get more clarity on what the start of the 2020 NFL season is going to look like with regards to game-day protocols agreed upon by the NFL and NFL Players Association.
And there are many health and safety guidelines, some more impactful than others.
▪ The participating teams (and their essential traveling parties) will be required to stay at team hotels in the game city the night before in order to ensure they can be administered the necessary screening and testing.
▪ Additionally, meals at the hotels must be provided by on-site vendors to players/coaches in their rooms whenever possible to limit trips to public markets. Self-serve buffets are prohibited. Members of the traveling party may order hotel room service or enlist third-party food services to the room with contactless delivery.
▪ There will be no on-field entertainment in terms of cheerleaders, mascots or flag-runners. But smoke tunnels used for pregame player introductions are permissible.
