The Arizona Department of Health Services has given the Arizona Cardinals clearance to increase fan attendance to approximately 1,200 in their Week 7 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Season ticket-holders can attend a game at State Farm Stadium for the first time in 2020 when the Cardinals face the NFC West leaders on Oct. 25, the Cardinals announced Friday.
“Seats from this very limited allotment will be made available exclusively to season ticket members in account seniority order,” the team said in a release. “To accommodate the greatest number of season-ticket members, seats will only be sold in quantities of two and assigned in adherence with all local and state COVID-19 guidelines.”
The Cardinals will reach out to season ticket-holders in an email Friday with further instructions about how they can attend.
The Cardinals tested their coronavirus prevention protocols by allowing 750 people, all friends and family members, to attend their Sept. 27 loss to the Detroit Lions.
For the Seahawks game, the fans will be split up in pairs of two with 600 fans on each side of the stadium. Masks will be mandatory for fans, and seats will be zip-tied between their seats to ensure social distancing.
Game and parking tickets will be distributed digitally and scanned without contact, while concessions will also be contact-less.
