Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy revealed that more than 80 percent of season ticket holders opted out of this season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky.
The Packers previously announced that their first two home games—a Sept. 20 matchup with the Detroit Lions and an Oct. 5 tilt with the Atlanta Falcons—will be held without fans.
"The fact that that high a percentage of our fans were not comfortable coming to games was a factor that weighed into my thinking," Murphy said in an interview posted on the Packers' website (via Demovsky).
