Reply to comment by vtman7 in A study of NFL games during the 2020 season suggests a link between attendance and COVID spikes in surrounding counties 14 and 21 days later. The inferred connection held strongest for games attended by 20,000-plus fans by Wagamaga
Even if the game is outside, the concourses to get to and from your seats usually aren't.

But you can wear a mask and the area's are somewhat ventilated and not very high risk.
Millions of people are going in to the office and classrooms with significantly worse ventilation daily and anyone who has a clue about statistics knows the 20,000 compared to 50,000,000 had zero effect.
They cherry picked 270 games during that happened during the New covid mutations that caused huge waves and spikes.

You can, but it only takes one infected person to not be wearing one to make it a covid hotspot. And every new person who does the same increases the risk.
And yes millions of people go to work, but not all in the same building.

Yet it seems that it did have an effect

How many games of similar capacity did they not look at over that time?
