Packers to have fans at Lambeau Field for divisional round
The Packers will invite a limited number of fans to attend the divisional round game next week.
The road to the Super Bowl just became a bit tougher for any team facing the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs.
The Packers will play all of their postseason games at Lambeau Field after clinching the top seed last week. Now, the team has announced they’ll be inviting around 6,000 season ticket holders to attend the game. Frontline healthcare workers and first responders will also be invited to attend.
After a long season without fans at Lambeau due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this is a huge step.
While the Packers won’t get the same home-field advantage they would if the stadium was at full capacity, there’s no doubt having fans in the stands will give the team a boost.
After playing a number of games with no fans there to cheer them on, having a small number of excited Packers fans may help give the team a lift during the most challenging moments of a tough playoff game.
