Heinz Field at 8% capacity was not going to result in a spike of cases.
*No tailgating
*Barely anyone on the sidewalks or streets outside of the stadium. I walked the entire length of the North end zone outside the stadium for one game this year without seeing another fan.
*Minimal people waiting at the gates at 6-ft apart. It's safer than waiting in line at Walmart.
*Concession areas are not crowded.
*Bathrooms are not crowded.
*Limited capacity at the Steelers store (no different than any other store).
*Seating bowl has fans at least 6-ft apart with masks and a constant breeze bringing in fresh air.
*Zero data-based evidence that limited capacity crowds at NFL games have been superspreader events.
