Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore will announce expanded capacity limits inside professional sports arenas and stadiums Friday afternoon, CTV News Toronto has learned.
Sources say that starting on Saturday, a new capacity limit of 50 per cent up to a maximum of 10,000 people will be allowed in indoor sports venues and 75 per cent up to 30,000 people will be allowed in outdoor sports venues.
The new rules means the Ottawa Senators could host approximately 9,300 fans for their first exhibition game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sept. 29.
Earlier this month, the Senators said they expected to be able to host capacity crowds of 18,652 when the NHL regular season starts next month.
