3). No social distancing enforced for the seating areas. As expected as it would be way too hard to do so
4). Ushers did not check for tickets but they were enforcing mask wearing albeit a lot of people don’t know how to wear them properly aka “chin diapers”. They enforced having a mask on but not necessarily if you were wearing it properly
5). CSEC provided by water stations with Dixie cups given the lack of concessions
6). Obviously quiet atmosphere The plus was that you can hear the on ice action really well - more “F***s” than normal - a lot more….
Conclusion. Will attempt to volunteer my tickets but will attend if I am unable to
Also…if you are sick, STAY HOME! The seat right next to me was coughing up a lung and sniffling throughout the game. I moved. You can’t control the crazies but you can control yourself.

Also at the game. Me and a friend were up at the top of the 2nd deck and considered moving down after the 1st or 2nd, but saw that the usher presence was pretty extensive so decide to just leave it alone. Didn't see the water stations or open restaurants, but wasn't looking super hard.
Also the game sucked, so it felt meaningless to move down. As noted in the game thread, we left after the 2nd. Wasn't because of the capacity, or the lack of vendors etc... It was because the team sucked and the game was boring. I'll sit for 2.5 hours and watch hockey without food or drink and 5-10 thousand people certainly have the ability to create an awesome atmosphere if the team wants to give them something to get excited about.
