Fans Will Need Masks Again At Boston Bruins Games

Pull out those masks again Boston Bruins fans.

Probably not what Boston Bruins fans wanted to read to kick your weekend off but with another City of Boston indoor mask mandate back in effect as of 8 AM Friday morning, TD Garden is now requiring that anyone attending events there will need a mask on to enter. Fans will only be allowed to remove the masks when eating and/or drinking.

The Eagles concert at TD Garden tonight will be the first event since June 1 that those attending events at the home barn for the Boston Bruins will be required to wear masks to protect from the spread of COVID.

The Bruins’ first event open to the public will be their preseason home opener on September 30 against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Per the TD Garden website:

In accordance with the CDC and the City of Boston, masks will now be required for all guests, regardless of vaccination status, at TD Garden starting August 27, 2021. Masks must be worn at all times except while actively eating or drinking in your seat as permitted. Masks must completely and tightly cover the wearer’s nose and mouth. Neck gaiters, bandanas, masks with valves or vents, and any covering with only a single layer of cloth are not permitted. Face shields may not be worn in place of a face mask, though may be worn in addition to a face mask. A two-strike policy will be strictly enforced for all guests who attend events at TD Garden in relation to mask-wearing. Guests failing to adhere to this policy will be subject to disciplinary measures including ejection.

Children under 2 years old are exempt from the mandatory mask policy. If you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing a face mask, please notify TD Garden customer service at least 2 business days prior to your ticketed event to make accommodations. Entry will be denied if advance notice is not provided. Day of event exemptions will not be permitted. Fans who are unable to wear a face mask will be required to wear a face shield.

All associates (including 3rd party employees and vendors) are required to wear a company-issued black mask at all times and complete the Play It Safe Promise, a digital health agreement, prior to entering TD Garden.
