Sports fans in Charlotte and across North Carolina will soon be allowed to watch more games in person.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announced Wednesday an increase in permissible attendance at sporting events across the state due to the recent decline in new COVID-19 cases.
Cooper is signing an executive order that, beginning Friday, will allow all indoor facilities that hold 5,000 or more people to have 15% of capacity, as long as other health and safety guidelines are followed. Many outdoor sports venues will now be allowed to hold 30% of capacity with no 100-person limit.
