INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts announced significant changes to how games will be played this season. The changes announced include:
- A modified preseason schedule,
- Reduced stadium capacity that complies with CDC guidelines for social distancing,
- Tarps being placed over the eight rows nearest the field as an increased safety measure for football personnel and fans,
- A food and beverage experience that minimizes person-to-person contact,
- An adjusted game presentation that eliminates non-essential personnel on the playing field, and
- Additional health and safety protocols, including face coverings.
In an email to fans, the Colts say they are in the process of developing a fair and equitable way to offer limited seating options and a fan-friendly way to defer to next year and reserve current seats for the 2021 season.
