The fans began returning to T-Mobile Arena March 1 when 15 percent of the arena’s capacity was permitted.

Then, the Golden Knights received permission from local and state authorities for 20 percent capacity.

Now, the fan attendance is allowed to be 22 percent of the capacity, which is 17,367 for fixed seats. Announced attendance is up to 3,950.

Majority Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley would like to increase the percentage capacity to 28 percentage, and then aim for 50 percent for the postseason.

Here are some fan photos from T-Mobile Arena, where NHL play began Jan. 14 with no fans.
