New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell denied the Saints' request to host fans at around 25% capacity at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for Monday's game vs. the Chargers, according to NOLA.com's Amie Just.
Per NOLA.com, the team requested to have fans last week and was "optimistic" that approval would be given.
However, the city ultimately turned down the club's request.
The city, per NOLA.com, said it will not rule out allowing fans at Saints games later this season. The team reportedly sent out an email to season ticket holders on Wednesday saying they "expect to host fans" starting on Oct.
