Murphy’s statement went on to express how proud he is of how seriously “players and employees have taken the virus” and the steps the’ve “taken to avoid contracting it and infecting others.”

“While Lambeau Field feels very different this year, we look forward to giving our fans watching from home some more great wins,” the statement concluded. “We can’t wait to see packed stands again next season.”

The piece noted, that this decision about limiting fans currently applies to just the regular season and exactly what will happen should the NFL team make it into the playoffs and games be played at Lambeau Field, a decision about fans attendance “will be made at a later date.”
