New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that stadiums and arenas with more than 10,000 seats can reopen starting February 23, with approval from the state's health department -- with heavy restrictions. The Barclays Center in Brooklyn has already been approved to open that day for the Brooklyn Nets' NBA game against the Sacramento Kings.
However, New York's stadiums must limit capacity to 10%; they must ensure all staff and spectators received a negative Covid-19 PCR test within the last 72 hours; and they must mandate face coverings and assigned, socially distanced seating.
"While we continue to fight Covid on multiple fronts, we must also get this economy re-opened intelligently and in a balanced way," Cuomo said.
