Concessions to reopen; pedway closed

SAINT JOHN - Concessions will be open for this weekend's Saint John Sea Dogs home games at TD Station.

Saint John's final home game of the first half back in December did not allow food or beverages. That rule has been changed as the Sea Dogs finally open their updated second half schedule with a Friday home match against the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada and a Sunday contest against the Rimouski Oceanic.

Like that Dec. 18 game, social distancing will be enforced and seating will be on a first come, first serve basis.

The City will also be keeping its pedway closure in place. The pedway between the Aquatic Centre and TD Station will be closed 90 minutes before game time and remain closed until 90 minutes after.
Here's a full rundown of the COVID protocols that will be in place:

  • According to the TD Station website, "the main lobby will be limited by the 6' social distancing mandate. This may mean a longer wait time outside the building before entry."
  • According to the Sea Dogs, "everyone with a ticket will be allowed to enter TD Station for the game, this includes season tickets and single-game tickets. For those of you with flex tickets who would like to attend a game, flex ticket redemptions will be limited to 200 on game-days."
  • All tickets will become general admission and fans will choose their seats on a first come, first serve basis. Fans are encouraged to sit with friends and family who are in their bubbles.
  • Social distancing will be enforced, which means "one row in front, one behind, and three seats in between each group." As the seating chart above shows, every second row will be closed off.
  • The existing two-dose vaccination requirements and masking rules will remain in place. Those aged 11 and younger do not need to be fully vaccinated to enter the building but must be accompanied by a fully vaccinated adult. 

The other two New Brunswick QMJHL clubs will also be in action this weekend and will have similar protocols in place. The Acadie-Bathurst Titan's protocols can be found here and the Moncton Wildcats' here.
