NFL decision on stadiums could cost Packers over $7 million and fans thousands of seats at Lambeau Field

GREEN BAY – Multiple reports say the NFL will require teams to tarp over the first six to eight rows in stadiums this season to provide more separation between players and fans. That would knock out about 6,500 seats in Lambeau Field, assuming all eight rows were blocked. That would equal 8% of average attendance in 2019.
