Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy revealed that more than 80 percent of season ticket holders opted out of this season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

The Packers previously announced that their first two home games—a Sept. 20 matchup with the Detroit Lions and an Oct. 5 tilt with the Atlanta Falcons—will be held without fans.

"The fact that that high a percentage of our fans were not comfortable coming to games was a factor that weighed into my thinking," Murphy said in an interview posted on the Packers' website Saturday (via Demovsky).

It has not been decided whether the remainder of the home slate, which begins Nov. 1 against the Minnesota Vikings, will have fans.
