The Green Bay Packers have warned their season ticket holders they may be unable to attend games. In a letter to season ticket holders, Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy wrote, “new safety measures will allow for appropriate social distancing, which will require the stadium’s seating capacity to be significantly reduced.”
That quote could be misinterpreted, so it’s worth stating Murphy made it clear in the letter that games could be played without fans in 2020. At this rate, there’s simply no telling what the “significantly reduced” number could look like, if it’s anything at all.
Because of this, fans in Green Bay who acted prior to the June 1 deadline to renew their season tickets can opt out of this campaign’s games without losing control of their seats in 2021, assuming that things are somewhat normal by then.
