With the NFL playoffs just on the horizon, many fans are wondering just how the league will handle fans being in attendance.

While some teams allowed fans to attend games this season, they were socially distanced and spread apart, and stadiums were never packed to capacity. The New Orleans Saints are looking to change that.


Head coach Sean Payton suggested putting up 50,000 fans in a hotel in order to quarantine them to allow them to pack the Superdome for the Saints' upcoming playoff games.

At the very least, the Saints will have some fans in attendance for their upcoming playoff game against the Bears, though it will be closer to around 3,000 instead of Payton's suggested 50,000.
