Quebec government announces pathway to full capacity at arenas

During a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Quebec Premier Francois Legault announced the gradual loosening of restrictions in the province over the next few days and weeks.

Starting on Monday, February 21st, the Bell Centre and other indoor sports venues can open back up to fans at 50% capacity. Then, on Monday, March 14th, the Bell Centre can go back to 100% capacity.

The Canadiens have five games scheduled between today and February 21st, where no fans are in attendance, and then another two games that will be at 50% capacity before March 14th's full reopening.

Their first game with 50% capacity will be on February 21st against the Toronto Maple Leafs, while their first game back with full capacity will be on Tuesday, March 15th when they host the Arizona Coyotes.

Montreal will go to 50% capacity starting Feb. 21, and then 100% by Mar. 14. Quebec's premier just made that announcement. Same timeframes in Ontario for Leafs & Senators.— David Pagnotta (@TheFourthPeriod) February 8, 2022
