While Patriots fans are anxiously awaiting the start of what will surely be a unique season, the organization has been working diligently to ensure that the game day experience is safe for everyone when soccer resumes. While much remains to be decided, and state and local approvals will be required before fans are allowed inside the building, the Patriots informed ticket holders today of some preliminary protocols they can expect if they visit Gillette Stadium in 2020.
Pending state and local approval, if Gillette Stadium is allowed to have fans in the stands this season, it is expected to house around 20 percent of its full capacity. Parties issuing tickets will be required to maintain physical distance of at least six feet from other parties, tickets will be arranged in blocks of 10 seats or less, and the first eight rows of stadium seats will not be used. Additionally, facial covers will be required at all times within the stadium to keep all attendees safe.
Although game days will look different this year as a result of the many safety precautions that are being put in place, the Patriots organization is committed to providing a positive experience for all who attend.
Recognizing that fans attending the games will require some flexibility in these unique circumstances, the Patriots also announced that parking for the 2020 home games will be free in all parking lots at Gillette Stadium. In addition, direct sales will be suspended at the Patriots box office, and all tickets will be mobile.
Patriots Putnam Club and Season Ticket members will have the first opportunity to purchase individual game tickets if fans are allowed, and any remaining ticket inventory will go on sale to the general public once the registration process is complete. membership.
