New York to Allow Fans at Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center on Feb. 23

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday the state's plan to allow fans at arenas and stadiums beginning on Feb. 23.

Arenas such as the Barclays Center and Madison Square Garden will be allowed to have fans up to 10 percent capacity, per Cuomo. Spectators will be required to register a negative PCR rapid test within 72 hours of an event. Face coverings, social distancing and temperature checks are also required.

Feb. 23 won't mark the first time during the COVID-19 crisis in which New York fans have attended a professional sporting event.
