NFL teams could lose $5.5 billion in revenue, or 38 percent of the league's total revenue, if the 2020 season is played without fans in attendance, according to a report from Forbes.

The data used by Forbes is from the 2018 season, and is the sum of revenue from tickets, concessions, sponsors, parking and team stores.

The Steelers wouldn't be hit as hard as some other teams based on Forbes' rankings.

The Cowboys ranked the highest in stadium revenues with $621 million, which was 65 percent of their total revenue of $950 million. The Patriots ranked second with $315 million in stadium revenues, or 52.5 percent of their total revenue of $600 million.

The Steelers' stadium revenues ranked No. 15 in the league at $156 million, which accounted for just 35.5 percent of their total revenue for the season.
