GREEN BAY — The Green Bay Packers’ unsurprising announcement Wednesday about a fan-less training camp also came with a request — or maybe it even qualified as a plea.
As expected, the team formally announced Wednesday what seemed like a foregone conclusion since the COVID-19 pandemic began wreaking havoc on American sports: There will be no fans in attendance at the Packers’ 2020 training-camp practices, the team’s annual Family Night practice inside Lambeau Field or any home preseason games.
“The tremendous support of cheering fans at Lambeau Field motivates all of us in the Packers organization,” Packers president/CEO Mark Murphy said in a statement released by the team.
