Steelers extend their Covid testing to family and friends of players and coaches.

plusses and minuses to this..what if a friend or family member tests positive but the player doesn't. That would likely take a player out of a game
I would just do family and tell the players to stay at home until the playoffs are over. Simple as that.
Hmmm?
Lots of "what if" questions associated with this decision...

According to the CDC, home is by far the single largest transmission point of the virus...

What does the CDC say about 68,000 seat stadiums with 5,500 fans in attendance?
True but he had a party. Stay home with your family, nothing else, until the playoffs are over. It's not much of a sacrifice. If they can't do it, they really don't deserve to play or even be on the team for that matter. They are selfish if they can't do this for maybe a few weeks.
outside, while wearing masks??? I've never seen why there are not at least 20K fans in the stands.
Yeah even basic math says 10k would be super safe... youd think 15-20 would be fine
It seems that it's easier to deal with 5K or no one in the stands for the NFL or the governors in each state. Screw the fans!
Pittsburgh refused to open the upper deck, since the amounts allowed by the state were in the 7500 range, there is no reason to open the upper level to staff it. If you can up that amount you can have the upper decks open like the Browns did last week.
We have not had more than 5000 fans for any game this year at HF, gov orders. Walmart on a Sat has more customers than the Steelers have fans watching.
1 minute down the road from Heinz is River Casino which is holding 50% capacity at 4,000 people allowed.
So they can have 4,000 people indoors but Heinz field, that holds 65,000 can't have more than 2,500 at an outdoor event... just ******* ridiclous.
I agree fully! I don't get and probably never will!

The Eagles, Browns, and Bengals game all had more than 5,000 fans. The season high was 5,909 against Cincinnati.
As pointed out, the Rivers Casino can operate at 50% capacity indoors, but Heinz Field cannot operate at 8% outdoors.
PA made more than any other state off of Casino taxes last year, I'm guessing that's why they'll allow Rivers to be at 50%
At least this is a start...
