PITTSBURGH — No fans will be allowed to watch the game in the stands when the Steelers travel to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Jets and New York Giants.

According to the notice posted on the Giants Twitter account, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced that his executive order limiting outdoor public gatherings to slow the spread of COVID-19 applies to events at the stadium. It reads in part “both the Giants and Jets will play our games without the benefit of fans in attendance.”
