The NFL team said it would provide refunds to fans who won't follow COVID-19 regulations this season, changing a policy they announced earlier this week.
On Tuesday, the Saints said they wouldn't refund fans who won't comply with this year's COVID-19 regulations. Those who want to attend games will either have to be vaccinated or provide proof of a recent negative COVID-19 test. Saints officials suggested that fans that didn't plan on complying with the rules sell their tickets on a third-party website.
On Thursday, the New Orleans Saints said they would refund unvaccinated fans with tickets to home games this season, reversing a policy announced earlier this week.

The team said that it will work to"expedite this process" given that the football season is slated to begin next week. Earlier this month, the team announced that it would be able to fill its stadium, Caesars Superdome, which seats roughly 75,000, this season.
