Fans who've protected themselves against COVID-19 with a vaccine may get their own sections during professional hockey games at the Prudential Center in Newark as restrictions loosen in the future.
A spokesperson for Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, which owns the New Jersey Devils, said conversations are being had about possibly introducing "vaccinated sections" at the team's home venue.
Dave Sholler, executive vice president of communications for the company, said it's not expected that vaccination will be mandatory for entry. There's been heavy debate recently over the idea of "vaccine passports" — Gov. Phil Murphy hasn't ruled out the possibility in the Garden State, but he also hasn't endorsed the idea.
