Chargers Daily Links: Roger Goodell wants to welcome back all fans in 2021

On Tuesday afternoon, during a league-wide virtual meeting, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stated that the plan for the 2021 season is “to see every one of our fans back.” He also stated that the NFL expects to have full stadiums later this year.

In 2020, the league hosted 1.2 million fans throughout its’ stadium while recorded zero notable outbreaks stemming from fans in attendance. As of now, we are roughly five months away from the season kicking off.

This is incredibly optimistic news for Chargers and NFL fans, alike, as it’s looking like we won’t have to go another year before seeing SoFi Stadium on game days in all of its’ $5 billion-dollar glory. It also means that we, as fans, will be able to start making new memories within the new era of Chargers football. It really can’t come soon enough.

Now for today’s links.
