There will be no fans in the stands at FedEx Field to watch the Washington Football Team this season.

The club, noting "the health and safety of its fans and employees" as the primary reason, announced Wednesday that NFL games at FedEx Field would be played without fans. The team cited an "abundance of caution due to the rapidly changing dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic."

The team noted the decision will be re-evaluated if the situation surrounding the pandemic improves over the course of the season.
