Amalie Arena Set for Full Capacity as Lightning Increase Fan Attendance
Increased Capacity for Lightning Home Games
Amalie Arena, home of the Tampa Bay Lightning, will welcome back a full house of fans for the first time in over two years during the upcoming postseason. The Lightning have announced that the arena will be at 100% capacity for all home games, allowing 18,600 fans to witness the team's quest for another Stanley Cup.
The capacity increase comes as the Amalie Arena hosts the first two rounds of the playoffs. The Lightning will face either the Toronto Maple Leafs or Boston Bruins in the first round and the winner of the Florida Panthers and Washington Capitals series in the second round. The arena's capacity will be at approximately 78% (14,800 fans) for these games.
Vegas Golden Knights Prepare for Full Capacity Home Games
The Tampa Bay Lightning's opponent in the Western Conference Finals, the Vegas Golden Knights, will also be playing in front of a full house at T-Mobile Arena. The Golden Knights plan to have 100% capacity for their home games, which will begin in the second round if they advance.
Health and Safety Protocols
Both Amalie Arena and T-Mobile Arena will implement health and safety protocols to ensure the well-being of fans. These protocols may include mask requirements, social distancing, and increased sanitation measures. Fans are encouraged to check the respective arena websites for the latest information on these protocols.
The return of full capacity crowds to Amalie Arena and T-Mobile Arena is a significant milestone for both teams and their fans. It will create an electric atmosphere for the highly anticipated playoff series and provide a boost of support for the players on the ice.
