Phoenix Rising FC News Release
PHOENIX, Arizona - Phoenix Rising FC announced today that it will welcome fans back to Casino Arizona Field in a limited capacity for matches beginning Friday, September 11, when it hosts Las Vegas Lights FC at 7:30 p.m.
"The health and safety of our players, staff, fans and community remains our top priority," said Phoenix Rising FC General Manager, Bobby Dulle. "We have consulted with state and local officials as well as health specialists throughout this process. We feel we can now safely allow a limited number of season ticket members to attend matches by implementing several key safety protocols."
Rising has obtained safety certification by HealthyVerify, a private company that specializes in the implementation of disease-reducing procedures. Per their recommendations, Rising will allow fewer than 1,000 season-ticket members to attend next Friday's match. All fans and staff members will be required to wear facemasks at all times. The limited-capacity seating chart for all fans will provide ample room for the recommended social-distancing measures to remain in place throughout the match.
Fans will not be permitted to carry a bag into the stadium. All tickets will be digital. Fans will enter and exit at separate gates depending on their designated seating areas. Updated parking procedures will ensure fans remain at a safe social distance, including before and after match. As always, no tailgating will be permitted in the parking lots at Casino Arizona Field.
Rising will continue to consult with government health officials, along with the United Soccer League to monitor the local health situation in regard to the presence of fans at Casino Arizona Field.
More information will be communicated directly to the season-ticket members selected to attend next week's match in the coming days. Seating availability for those fans will be selected based on priority number.
