In an effort to combat the increased number of COVID-19 cases in New Jersey, on Oct. 28 Gov.

When the seats are empty
“I’m sitting at home watching the Masters with my wife on a Giants-Eagles game day. That would never happen!” Palsi is the owner of the Redds Restaurant & Biergarten in Carlstadt, which his family has run since 2002. He said his establishment is very much event-driven, so the no-fans policy at Met Life Stadium hits extremely hard.
