TEXANS EXPECT FANS IN RELIANT STADIUM FOR SUNDAY’S GAME

The Houston Texans are expected to allow nearly 15,000 fans at NRG Stadium when they host the Minnesota Vikings, Sunday.

The team made an announcement last week regarding its Week 4 match up, which is the second home game on the schedule. The Texans already played their home opener of 2020 against the Baltimore Ravens without anyone sitting in the more than 67,000 seats of the venue.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner says a 25% capacity limit and strict social distancing guidelines will be needed before any large scale event can be approved.

The Texans already held a tailgate event for the team's first game of the season. In addition, the Houston Dynamo and Dash announced they would hold matches at BBVA Stadium under these new rules.

The Texans are hoping to be one of just a handful of NFL teams to have fans at games, so far.
