A fan with a negative test has less transmission risk than just a vaccinated fan IMO. Not sure why they wouldn't follow the Ontario teams' policy, or perhaps they will once they release further details.

I’d suspect most people in this thread would be perfectly fine with a policy of a negative test the same day of the game.
Why the flames won’t do it is cost, lines and enforcement. I suspect they looked at the Nashville North numbers and decided the cost associated with rapid testing wasn’t worth it relative to the number of fans they will lose as a result of the policy. It’s also likely too cumbersome to push that cost onto ticket holders.
