GLENDALE, AZ — Members of the public will not be allowed to attend the upcoming Arizona Cardinals game against the Los Angeles Rams due to the rising COVID-19 cases in the state, the team announced on Friday.
The Cardinals are scheduled to host the Rams at State Farm Stadium on Dec. 6, 2020.
The team said it made the decision "based on the latest COVID-19 information and guidance from the Arizona Department of Health Services," according to a statement.

A limited number of family members and team staff will be allowed to watch the game, the Arizona Cardinals said.
Decisions about whether fans will be allowed at the Cardinals remaining home games against the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers will be announced at a later date, the team said.
Earlier this week, Larry Fitzgerald and Trent Sherfield were placed on the team's "reserve/COVID-19" list, according to the Arizona Cardinals official Twitter account.
On Sunday, Nov. 29, the team takes on the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots previously announced that there would be no fans for the remainder of the season.
