The Arizona Coyotes announced on Wednesday a limited seating capacity for the team's six home games this month, with a maximum of 3,450 fans to be allowed inside Gila River Arena beginning with the Jan. 14 season opener against the San Jose Sharks.
The City of Glendale has allowed 25 percent capacity, according a statement from the Coyotes. The club intends to work with Gila River Arena and the city to determine the seating capacity for each month throughout the 2021 NHL regular season.
“The health and safety of our fans, players, coaches, and staff has been our top priority throughout this process and we are looking forward to beginning the season with a limited capacity of seating for our fans,” Coyotes president & CEO Xavier Gutierrez said in the statement.
