Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross told CNBC on Tuesday that his current plan includes fans in the stands, and that the 2020 NFL season will go on as planned amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"I think there definitely will be a football season this year," Ross said Tuesday during an interview with CNBC. "Real question is, will there be fans in the stadium? Right now -- today -- we're planning to have fans in the stadium."

The NFL has released its schedule earlier this month and plans to play its full 16-game slate on time, starting Sept. 10. The league hasn’t made any definite decisions about whether to allow fans into stadiums during the 2020 season, but Stephen Ross is optimistic that plans will continue in a safe manner.

"We all miss our sports," Ross said. "The NFL, I think, will be ready to go. I know we're all looking forward to it. I know I am."

Earlier this month, Dolphins CEO/president Tom Garfinkel revealed mock-up plans for how the team could host a limited capacity of 15,000 fans while adhering to social distancing in Hard Rock Stadium. This would include all attendees wearing masks, staggered entrances and exits, and ordering food from their seats.

The Dolphins have been proactive throughout the pandemic and Hard Rock Stadium became the first public facility to earn the Global Biorisk Advisory Council's STAR accreditation, the standard used for facilities to implement cleaning, disinfecting and infectious disease prevention work practices to control risks involved with infectious agents like the coronavirus.

The NFL began allowing teams to reopen facilities, if permitted by local guidelines, to limited staff on May 19.

On Tuesday of this week, Hard Rock Stadium has announced that they plan to entertain South Florida residents as an open-air drive-in theatre in the meantime.
