Hawks Hope To Begin Allowing Fans On MLK Day, Jan. 18

The Hawks "expect that State Farm Arena will be open only to a small amount of friends and family for the first few home games" of the '20-21 season, but "will open at about 10% capacity on MLK Day, Jan. 18." That "would allow 1,700 fans in the stands." Team CEO Steve Koonin said, “We just think the right plan is to crawl, walk and then run." Masks will be "mandatory and fans will be seated so that they’re spread out." If the Hawks "decide to allow fans in the lower section, those fans may have to undergo coronavirus testing." The Hawks "spoke to other teams who have had fans in the stands" already (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, 11/25).
