As first reported by Shanna McCarriston of cbssports.com, plans have been finalized for fans at the 2021 Olympics.
Plans for fans at the Olympics, just one month away, include:
- All fans will be Japanese residents
- Attendance is limited to 50% capacity
- Maximum of 10,000 fans at events, both indoor and outdoor
- Face masks must be worn
- NO CHEERING is allowed
- It is recommended that people who attend events go straight home afterwards
The fan restrictions mean some Japanese residents who already had tickets will not be allowed at the game and must give back their ticket. As a result, the $800 million expected from ticket revenue will now be about half of the number.
