Raptors: Plan to play in front of fans at full capacity gaining steam

It could be argued that Canadian sports were hit much harder by the COVID-19 pandemic than American sports, as teams like the Toronto Raptors were unable to return to their home country for an entire season and had to play at alternate sites. Playing in Tampa was just not conducive to winning basketball.

With the Toronto Blue Jays playing in front of 15,000 fans at Rogers Centre, and with the Argonauts and Toronto FC also playing in front of a limited number of fans at BMO Field, the maximum capacity allowed at sporting events is slowly beginning to rise.
