GREEN BAY — There may still be fans in attendance at a Green Bay Packers home game at Lambeau Field this season, but it won’t happen until at least November – if at all.
The team announced Thursday night that it has decided to prohibit fans from attending its first two homes games – in Week 2 for a noon start against the Detroit Lions on Sept. 20, and in Week 4 for a “Monday Night Football” matchup with the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 5 – because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Lambeau Field will not be the same without our fans’ energetic support in the stands,” Packers president/CEO Mark Murphy said in a statement released by the club.
