Some teams around the NFL are going to have a differing number of fans during the upcoming season. For the Chiefs, they'll be operating at 22 percent capacity in 2020, which limits them to around 16,000 fans in attendance.
Of course, Kansas City is set to begin the season as the hosts to the Houston Texans on September 10. Therefore, it was vital for the Chiefs to lay out the plan for their fans to purchase tickets as soon as possible.
Given the concerns surrounding COVID-19, some teams in the NFL have already chosen to have zero fans in attendance in 2020. Earlier this offseason, the New York Jets and the New York Giants discovered they wouldn't be able to have fans at home games to begin the season.
On the other hand, some teams have done the same thing as the Chiefs, limiting the number of fans that can arrive at games. However, like most teams that have chosen to have zero or limited fans to begin the season, it could be a fluid situation depending on the status of COVID-19 as the season progresses.
