The Minnesota Vikings will play at least their first two home games of the 2020 regular season without fans in attendance.
A statement issued by the team Tuesday noted fans won't be permitted in U.S. Bank Stadium for games on Sept. 13 against the Green Bay Packers and Sept. 27 against the Tennessee Titans:
"Over the past several months, we have collaborated with U.S. Bank Stadium partners, the NFL, the State of Minnesota and the City of Minneapolis to determine the best way to safely and responsibly host a limited number of fans at Vikings home games.
