Toronto Raptors Cleared to Host Fully-Loaded Stadiums Again

It’ll be a full house in Scotiabank Arena this October 20th when the Toronto Raptors host the Washington Wizards in their 2021-22 season opener, with no Uncle Jessie in sight.

And we are back.  After 19 LONG months of restrictions and shutdowns entertainment and sport events will now have capacity limits lifted in vaccine certificated venues! A great day for many @exploreOn sectors! pic.twitter.com/QmfwNHCMsF

Ontario’s Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Minister, Lisa MacLeod, announced Friday that the Toronto Maple Leafs (ptooey), Ottawa Senators (who cares), and the Toronto Raptors (yay!) will have their crowd capacity limits removed starting this Saturday at 12:01 AM ET (cause you never know when you need an empty arena for an impromptu all-night rave – God knows after two full years, I do).

Saturday, October 9, 2021, at 12:01 a.m., capacity limits will be lifted in the following settings where in most of them proof of vaccination is required:
– Concert venues, theatres, and cinemas; 1/3

This is good for all of the obvious reasons:

• A full stadium is a fun stadium;
• More attendance, more money, more free agents;
• Everyone who earns $200,000+ salaries can once again enjoy games in person;
• Hot dog farmers will no longer have to burn their hotdogs to manage inflation.

Downside for all you naturalists and self-researchers out there, proof of vaccination will be required. Why, on the 20th, can you not go and Bradley Beal can? Let’s not go there, shall we?
