Flames were averaging ~15000 attendance, so will only lose ~5000 under these measures

Sounds like no food or drinks in the seating areas as well. So much for nursing a beer for 3 hrs in order not to wear a mask.

It will be interesting to see how the Flames go about “allocating” seats. Imagine if they honour two of the four tickets. Or no oilers fans as suggested!

Forcing some sort of 'Pledge of Allegiance?'

How on earth does this make any sense at all?

Everyone in the Dome is vaccinated. Vaccinations basically eliminate severe covid outcomes. Why do we care how many people it may spread to amongst vaccinated people?

The only reason I can think of is to protect the unvaccinated that aren't at the game. And Holy Hell that pisses me off!!!

And honestly, I'm not sure I want to go any games with no food or drink. Wonder how selling my season tickets will go.

Any word on if we will have an option to sell tickets back? This is getting absolutely out of hand. Such bull ####.

Spare a thought or two for the literally hundreds of people who had their Saddledome income go from down significantly right before Christmas, to down to zero for the foreseeable future.

Same as BC and Ontario I believe.

I’m guessing Kenney just said **** it, we’ll just do the same.

When they're playing bad you can't stuff your face with hot dogs and nachos? Some nazi measures for whats supposed to be entertainment. Like damn, why go.

Doesn't make much sense to me given the fact that its a vaccinated audience. How about just enforcing masks on when seated but not actively eating/drinking. That with 50% capacity seems adequate.

First of all, I agree that this really sucks. However I know as the season went on, the definition of "actively drinking" slipped quite a bit. So no food or drink being served, means a heck of a lot more masking.

Will there be designated eating areas on the concourse or are people expected to eat before/after and sit there with no sustenance for 3 hours?

No sustenance for 3 hours. That is probably survivable.
