The Broncos announced that Sunday will be their final game played in front of fans at Empower Field due to an increase of local COVID-19 cases.
Fans will be unable to attend Denver's final three home games against the Saints, Bills and Raiders. On Friday morning, season ticket holders were informed of the team's decision, which was made in consultation with state officials and public health experts.
The state of Colorado reported over 6,000 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday.
"Although we are confident in our strong safety protocols and have no evidence of any COVID-19 transmission traced to our home games, the increase in cases and hospitalizations locally requires us to adjust our future plans.
