Eagles Tie Down Extra Seats To Ensure Fans Sit In Designated Pods
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Philadelphia Eagles welcomed their fans back into Lincoln Financial Field Sunday for the first time in the 2020 season. The Eagles say about 5,500 to 6,000 fans were allowed inside the stadium and they were sat in pods of two to six people.
There is a six-feet distance surrounding each pod of people and in order to ensure fans are not moving from their designated seats, the organization has tied down any seats that are not apart of a seat cluster.
Looks like seats that are not part of the 6 seat clusters at the Linc have been tied down so people cant use them. About 5500/6k fans will be here for the first time this #Eagles season pic.twitter.com/u0zK2NfBfg
