The Vegas Golden Knights are increasing fan attendance capacity for Monday’s Game 5 playoff showdown between the Knights and the Minnesota Wild at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The Knights anticipate having more than 11,000 fans in the building, through the number is “fluid at this point,” VGK spokesman Eric Tosi told LVSportsBiz.com Friday afternoon. It would be the biggest crowd for a VGK game this year as the team navigates COVID-19 protocols. Fans will still have to wear masks and fill out the CLEAR app health questionnaire.
For Games 1 and 2 on Sunday and Tuesday, the attendance capacity was 8,683 — or 50 percent of the official fixed seat capacity at T-Mobile Arena.
The official fixed seat capacity is 17,367. The Knights offered the media in a press release a website link that fans can use to buy Game 5 playoff tickets, which typically cost hundreds of dollars.
The VGK ticket website was busy Friday.
