If the NFL season is played without fans, it could mean a loss of big bucks across the league. Forbes-dot-com estimates the league would lose more than five-point-five billion dollars in revenue without spectators, from everything from tickets, concessions, sponsors, parking and team stores. Using numbers from the 2018 season, the team that would lose the most money would be the Dallas Cowboys, who would lose more than 600-million dollars.
If the NFL is able to play this fall, it could take some important steps to keeping players safe amid the coronavirus outbreak. NFLPA medical director Thom Mayer is recommending that players where modified facemasks that protect themselves. A prototype is currently being designed by Oakley that could feature surgical or N95 materials.
