ASHWAUBENON - For businesses that rely on the Green Bay Packers for a substantial part of their income, a training camp without fans is another blow in a coronavirus-dominated world.
"You didn’t really build pandemic into your business plan. We all will now," said Bill Tressler, owner of Hinterland Brewery in Ashwaubenon.
Training camp, which normally brings more than 90,000 visitors to Green Bay from across the nation and more than 20 countries, is closed to the public. And the Packers said no more than 12,000 fans will be allowed to attend games this season, compared with the average of 77,000-plus that bought tickets last season.
