Indoor and outdoors stadiums, arenas in NY start to reopen
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center will allow hundreds of fans to attend some sports and entertainment events starting Tuesday.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced that stadiums and arenas with a capacity of 10,000 people or more can reopen with limited spectators for sports and entertainment starting Feb. 23. Both outdoor and indoor arenas can reopen at 10% of their normal capacity under Cuomo’s plan.
The plan has drawn concern from public health experts who are concerned about still-high rates of COVID-19 infections, the higher risk of transmission indoors and the threat of more contagious variants.
