re: Saints sending opt-out forms to season ticket holders

chiefs didn't start that option nor did the saints have pressure to change their stance. Back in May nfl sent out memo to all teams.
The memo, a copy of which was obtained by Newsday, states that “if a game is canceled, or is played under conditions that prohibit fans from attending, anyone purchasing a ticket directly from the club (i.e., season tickets, group sales and/or partial season plans) will have the option of either receiving a full refund or applying the amount paid toward a future ticket purchase directly from the club.”
