Vikings to have 250 staff and family members attending Week 3 game

So far, the Vikings have closed off regular games to the public amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Minnesota played the Colts last week. Indianapolis allowed a maximum of 2,500 fans into the game.

Now,”in preparation for the potential return of fans at home games” down the road, the Vikings will have 250 staff and family members in attendance for the Week 3 game against Tennessee.

“All attendees will be located in sections 131-135 in order to replicate a seating “pod” scenario,” the Vikings said in a statement. “We will focus on testing mobile ticketing, stadium ingress/egress, cashless concession stands and other game day procedures. Everyone in attendance will be required to wear face coverings and follow social distancing rules.”

In Minnesota, 250 people is the state limit for indoor gatherings.
