DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) — The NFL is not allowing cheerleaders and mascots on the field during the 2020 football season.
During the coronavirus pandemic teams are being allowed to set their own policies when it comes to fan attendance. But according to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero, the protocols for the NFL and NFL Players Association have been changed and the updated rules have been sent to the clubs.
In addition to cheerleaders and mascots, sideline sports and news reporters, and pregame reporters will also not be allowed on the field level during games.
“There is no game day entertainment personnel allowed on the field this season. However, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders will be permitted to perform on the end zone touchdown decks during the game,” said Charlotte Jones Anderson.
The Cowboys plan to allow fans in the stands, but have not announced at what capacity limit.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have been America’s Sweethearts since 1972, when they first graced the field at Texas Stadium.
Each year hundreds of hopefuls audition for the squad that truly is a part of U.S. history. Read more from CBS DFW.
