Nets prioritize vaccinations in upping Barclays Center capacity for post-season

It’s all about the vaccine. In talking with reporters Thursday morning, Nets CEO John Abbamondi was out front with what the Nets want to do: entice the unvaccinated to get the shot(s) ... and fill the arena for the playoffs.

“We’re not neutral on the question of vaccines,” said Abbamondi. “We are in lock-step with the Governor on this and we are trying to nudge people to get vaccinated. We are really trying to encourage our fans to get vaccinated and encourage fans who are already vaccinated to come out,” said Abbamondi. “We just don’t want to create too many unvaccinated sections because we’re trying, in our small way, to nudge people’s behavior.
