There is no measuring the excitement of the American sports fan as NFL season approaches. It has become considered the start of "sports season" and this year is about to be bonkers.
Why?
Because for the first time in a year, stadiums will be a full capacity. And no matter what a person's thoughts or ideas on the COVID and the pandemic may be, we can all agree that when the NFL says it's time to go, people will be filling the stands. NFL Football with all the bells and whistles will be in full effect starting on Thursday with the Cowboys taking on the Steelers.
Of course this is still preseason, so we'll only be super excited about it for like 4 days. Then we'll remember it's preseason football, and we'll measure our expectations.
But rest assured, everything becomes official on Thursday evening.
