Isles are offering fan cutouts. They won't be on TV and no dogs allowed. That's something even the Wilpons managed better. Any chance the rangers will do something similar?

I doubt it. With the Knicks having already started, they are not doing anything with cutouts. I would think that they will swap out the Knicks coverings of the stands with Rangers ones.
 


Haven't seen anything beyond this tweet but interesting nonetheless. Who would take on the cost of these tests? For the Bills pilot program, it's the fans who have to pay $60-$65 for their Covid test through the NFL's official lab in order to be able to go to the game. The cost is non-refundable whether they test negative or positive and is tacked on on top of the cost of the game ticket.

on top of that - broadway has already said, no shows until they are full houses, they cant make money without it. so hopefully he has a plan for that. he should focus on getting people vaccinated and showing a vaccine ID to get in than to waste money on this.

Agreed. Plus, if the entertainment and airline industry announce you will need to prove you have been vaccinated to use their services, we will see more people who claim they are not getting it cave and get it.

wow really, 65 bucks for the test? That sounds excessive

They should be able to do $5 tests with the Abbott rapid 10-minute machine
 
I get the idea behind being tested before entering the venue but logistically it sounds like a nightmare. I cannot imagine being able to work my normal 9-5 and then commute to MSG, get tested, and get a result by a 7pm puck drop.
 
Taking tests before entering MSG? No thanks, I can hold off another 6 months once hopefully the tide turns from all the vaccines. Hopefully by next Oct it won't be necessary to take tests.

Agreed. Does asymptomatic spread even show on the crappy rapid tests?

symptoms would have no impact, if you're spreading by definition you are sending out viruses and the test will detect that just the same as a symptomatic person

There is a question of viral load, that is of how much virus is coming out of an infected person and if some people are just superspreaders that will infect 100 people in a large room in a 15 minute period or others don't infect anyone unless you're stuck in an elevator with them for 3 hours
 
I'm not sure where to put this but there's an auction for cutouts of rangers players and front office watching NWHL games (you may have gotten an email from jr rangers). Link is View All - NHL Auctions



If you want an autographed dart board with Quinn's face here's your chance.

Vaccine rollout is being slowed by lack of supply, so far 608,308 NYC'ers have gotten their first dose (143K have both). Supply is a big problem, unless they open up the garden to vaccine proven people instead of the general public, I don't see how the regular season will have any fans until April at the earliest. Cuomo will have to make a call at some point, I calculate that the Rangers have enough money from me to cover just under 21 games, and we've already played 5 of the 27 home dates

I’m genuinely shocked it happened this soon. Figured before end of season but was not expecting end of February.

If I'm going to be honest, I'm surprised this only happened today. I'm surprised this announcement was not two/three weeks ago.
 
Also, it’s not really feasible to get a PCR test turnaround in 72 hours. My place has been doing 1-2 days but what happens if it comes back day of and it’s positive? What happens if it doesn’t come back at all?

B's fan here, but am an NYC resident. My guess, based on how other regulations have gone, is theres no real way to enforce the testing requirimemt and will probably be an honor system thing.

I had to travel earlier in this pandemic for a funeral, and while I abided by the state's travel regulations with testing and quarantining, there was never a point where I had to prove to anyone I'd been tested.

Can't they make you show proof of a negative test at the gate?

2078 can attend a Rangers game!!!!

Isn't MSG's seating capacity 18,006 for Rangers games? Plus, Wikipedia lists Knicks games at 19,812. Meaning either way, should only less than 2000 fans can attend a game at MSG? Or what's the arena's official maximum capacity?

They could, but if airlines weren't doing that for full flights, why would a stadium?
Click to expand...

Probably because Air Travel has quarantine rules. Certain locations (coming to/from foreign countries) will require a negative test. You can't trace someone going to a local sporting event.

And going to a stadium, you are going to cross paths with a lot more people than an airplane.

Also, airlines seem to be on track to require proof of vaccination once everyone has had a chance to get it. Probably something similar for sporting/music venues.
