NJ stadiums, big venues will reopen to limited fans in March
Gov. Phil Murphy has announced that large venues will be permitted to reopen to a limited number of fans starting in March, for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the shutdown of stadiums and other such facilities.
Murphy also extended the updated policy to collegiate sports, allowing two people per athlete to attend a game as long as capacity at an indoor venue doesn't exceed 35%, effective immediately, Murphy said during an appearance on WFAN on Monday morning.
Any sports or entertainment venue with a capacity of 5,000 or more will be allowed to host up to 10% of indoor maximum capacity or 15% of outdoor seating capacity, effective 6 a.m. on March 1.
