Florida governor Ron DeSantis has given all Florida stadiums the right to operate at 100% capacity following his lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in the state.
Despite DeSantis lifting restrictions in late September, it wasn’t clear how mass gatherings at stadiums and other large venues would be handled. In a tweet by FoxSports640 host Andy Slater, he was told by a state spokesman that the Miami Dolphins were clear to host 65,000 fans at their Hard Rock Stadiums and other stadiums can do the same. The Dophins have said they will continue with their reduced capacity of 13,000 for their next game however.
This would appear to also clear the way for Central Florida’s theme parks to increase their capacity without any limitations imposed by the state. Disney will of course continue a cautious phased reopening, but has already increased numbers at Walt Disney World since the reopening in mid-July.
