We need this to watch our children play indoor sports. Where wolf came up with the number 25 is beyond me.

Even 50 people in a rink means 500 square feet per person. This is WAY more than restaurants, gyms, entertainment facilities, tattoo parlors, and more. This is also way more space per person than all other sports. If you can allow 2000 people in a casino, you can allow the entire hockey team to play on the ice (BOTH TEAMS), plus coaches and refs as well as parents. Hockey players never share equipment, do not touch the puck, and there is no skin-to-skin contact. The fact that there will be no other adults, other than coaches and refs (which do not have eyes on every player at all times) available to be present during a sport such as ice hockey, is risky, puts the players in danger of getting hurt WITHOUT ANY WITNESSES! And more importantly, without parents present, there are NO MANDATED REPORTERS to monitor coaches and refs behaviors towards the players. THIS IS UNACCECPTABLE!! You are not only allowing our children to be at risk for physical injury without witnesses but molestion and sexual abuse without anyone to protect the children!

Should actually be at least 25% of capacity

Our kids who play sports indoors deserve to play just as much as kids outdoors. The 25 person limit does not allow this to be done in a safe manner. Please increase this so our kids can play the sports they have trained for this season!

Please increase the indoor capacity for indoor sports. My son plays hockey for varsity & travel. Please let them play the way the game us meant to be played 5 on 5. The rink is 17,000 ft.² and is capable of holding way more than 25 people. Please consider actually going off of 25% or 50% capacity as you would a regular gym casino or restaurant. So parents can watch and support their children.

This is a common sense proposal.

I agree that indoor sports need to increase the attendance numbers. Social distancing can still easily occur

Sports are vital to the mental and physical health of our children. It does not make sense to limit rinks to 25 people when the area is so large and the risk of transmission is low. Plus, I don't see how the risk is any higher with 50-60 players per rink versus 25 people, while the benefits of team building and safety far outweigh any possible additional risk

I play volleyball and basketball and I would like to have fans at my games. Having fans at games changes the atmosphere of the game!

All parents should be able to watch their kids activity. For some it's the last year!

Makes zero sense Wolfe made up a number such as 25 indoor but doesn’t state is that a 1,000sq ft structure or a 20,000sq ft structure like an ice rink.

60 is not an unreasonable, nor unsafe, number in a XX,000 sf ice arena. This will at least allow hockey games to be played in a normal format, which 25 does not allow for.
