AMERKS ANNOUNCE COVID-19 VACCINATION POLICY AT BLUE CROSS ARENA

Sep 21, 2021

Following the recommendation of the Monroe County Department of Health, the Rochester Americans and Blue Cross Arena announced today that all guests ages 12 and older will be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination to attend all concerts, events and Amerks games at The Blue Cross Arena during the 2021-22 season.

 

For all events between Sept. 29 and Nov. 2, guests will be permitted to enter the venue with a minimum of one vaccination dose. Beginning Nov. 3, guests must be fully vaccinated for entry. Fans are considered fully vaccinated two weeks following the completion of a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson.

 

All guests under 12 will not be required to have a vaccination but will be required to wear a mask at all times while inside The Blue Cross Arena. Additionally, guests 12 and older will no longer be required to wear masks due to the vaccination requirements although the continued practice of mask-wearing is strongly encouraged when inside the venue.
