Will the New York Giants and New York Jets be able to play in front of fans at MetLife Stadium this fall? That’s a big question nobody has an answer to just yet.
MetLife Stadium is located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The state is currently in Phase 2 of its reopening plan.
The Giants and Jets have been given the all-clear to open team facilities. The NFL has given the all-clear for coaches to return to said facilities.
These are good, positive signs that the season will start on time amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, when asked about whether fans could attend games, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy told Sports Illustrated it’s “too early to tell”:
“I’ve spoken to Roger Goodell, we speak with the Giants and the Jets all the time. I think it’s too early to tell on fans. We’re taking at this point, baby steps and slowly but surely trying to get there beginning with the staffs, the coaches, the players and I think we have to see where it goes from here.”
