Sean Payton Floats Insane Idea of Quarantining 50K Saints Fans To Have Them In Superdome For Playoff Game

Sean Payton really wants the effects of the home-field advantage.

The Saints are getting ready to host a Wild card game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, but in the age of the Rona, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome won’t be full of screaming fans.

On Wednesday, the New Orleans head coach suggested an insane idea of quarantining 50,000 Saints fans to create a “scientifically-safe home-field advantage” for them.

Sean Payton said he suggested the idea of quarantining 50,000 Saints fans to create a scientifically-safe home-field advantage in the Superdome. … Doesn't sound like he'll get his wish, but those wheels are always turning.

Maybe, just maybe if everyone had quarantined last March, we wouldnt even be in this situation right now.

lol, has he met America?

but this would be the most 2020 thing ever. people will quarantine and follow the rules for a football game but not for just, like, normal life. https://t.co/h9hzZLg7Yl
