It’s not perfect and it’s certainly not desirable, but the Raptors fully understand that limiting the number of fans in the stands is a necessary move.
Capacity at Scotiabank Arena will be cut in half for Raptors games beginning Saturday night against the Golden State Warriors — a game that would normally attract one of the loudest and most boisterous audiences of the season — and continue for the foreseeable future.
It will dampen the mood and lower the volume, but they hope it will also lead to a safer existence for everyone.
