Browns give season-ticket holders opt-out option
Planning for a season they acknowledge will be “very different,” the Cleveland Browns told their season-ticket holders they can opt out of the 2020 season without penalty and described other plans related to the covid-19 virus and its impact on the NFL.
The Browns sent a letter to their fans Thursday that outlined some new policies because of the pandemic. Anyone attending a game at FirstEnergy Stadium will have to follow physical-distancing guidelines and wear “mandated facial coverings.”
The team did not say how many fans will be allowed in the 67,000-seat stadium, which has been the Browns’ lakefront home since 1999.
Earlier this week, the Baltimore Ravens said they will seat fewer than 14,000 fans at M&T Bank Stadium. The Browns are scheduled to open the season there Sept. 13.
If Cleveland season-ticket holders decide not to attend games in 2020, they can retain their same seat location in 2021.
