New Orleans Saints’ Sept. 13 home opener against Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be played without fans in attendance, the team announced Wednesday.
“As we have noted, while we are not allowing fans in the first home game, we remain cautiously optimistic that fans may be able to attend our September 27 game”.
The Saints’ announcement is far from the first of its kind. Recently, the Green Bay Packers announced their first two home games would be played without fans.
