​New Procedures for Sporting Events

By Dayshaun Clark
 
After a year of being in quarantine, sporting events and arenas started letting fans and spectators back into stadiums but now there are rules if you want to come in and watch games like NFL and NBA games. We all know that Covid has affected sports as a whole, and now that people can go back to watching games in person, there are new rules to make sure that everyone is safe. Instead of keeping the no spectators or just letting anyone in, they set boundaries like needing to have a vaccine and test saying that you are negative.
 
My grandfather went to see a Buffalo Bills game and started talking about how long the lines were because they are checking everyone's tickets and making sure that they are vaccinated and how many people weren't wearing masks. If you plan on going to the Buffalo Bills stadium, prepare for a long walk after the lines of checking people because they don’t have any transportation around the stadium. If you want to enter the Blue Cross Arena, “For events between Sept. 29 and Nov. 2, guests can enter with proof of one vaccination dose. Guests must be fully vaccinated beginning Nov. 3.” and also visitors under 12 will be required to mask at all times.
 
Negative Covid tests will not be able to be used for entry, so you will need to get the vaccine to enter certain places. If you want to go to any events that have to do with a lot of people or closed spaces please check the terms that are needed to enter before you go.
