“As the true MVPs of our community, we want to honor and thank our healthcare heroes for all they have done during these challenging times,” Suns president and CEO Jason Rowley said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to welcome fans back to Phoenix Suns Arena. Our staff has worked tirelessly with the NBA and health officials to ensure proper protocols are in place to keep everyone safe.”
This limited accommodation is in accordance with guidelines provided by the Center for Disease Control, the NBA and Arizona Department of Health Services, the team said.
Before attending, however, fans must fill out and submit a Fan Promise, an online standardized health questionnaire about COVID-19 symptoms and exposure.
