Our friends at the Toronto Star are reporting that both the Toronto Raptors and Toronto Maple Leafs expect Scotiabank Arena to be at full capacity when the upcoming NBA and NHL seasons kick off. With vaccines mandated for every person in the arena (expect players, of course) MLSE expects the arena to be safe from the still-present danger of COVID-19.
The only thing they’re waiting for: The official OK from the province of Ontario.
(The Maple Leafs aren’t even letting that stop them; they’ve already started selling full capacity seats for preseason games, promising refunds if they don’t get provincial approval.
