Las Vegas, NV (KXST) - The Vegas Golden Knights announced their team policy for the upcoming season regarding Covid-19 vaccinations and mask wearing requirements for fans on Thursday.
Unlike the Las Vegas Raiders, where team owner Mark Davis said that only vaccinated fans would be allowed into Allegiant Stadium on game days, the Golden Knights released a statement that said they would be abiding by the indoor mask mandate recently instituted by Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak.
The team released a statement, which read:
“The Vegas Golden Knights and Henderson Silver Knights will continue to follow the applicable recommendations from state and local health officials, the National Hockey League and the CDC. Per the current guidance outlined in the State of Nevada’s Directive 047, masks will be required for fans attending our home games. However, proof of vaccination and/or proof of a negative COVID test in advance of attending a game will not be required at this time. If any adjustments are made to these fan policies, we will communicate those changes once confirmed.”
The Golden Knights open the pre-season hosting San Jose on September 26th. The regular season begins on October 12th when the VGK hosts the expansion Seattle Kraken. Single game tickets for all regular-season home games went on sale this week.
