Roger Goodell said the NFL's goal and expectation is to play the 2021 season with full stadiums.

“All of us in the NFL want to see every one of our fans back,” Goodell said. “Football is simply not the same without the fans and we expect to have full stadiums in the 2021 season.”

Attendance in 2020 dropped to 1.2 million compared to 16 million in 2019.
