As COVID-19 vaccinations start to roll out across Canada and the United States, professional sports teams across the continent are beginning to open their doors to fans in limited capacities.
There’s been a few teams so far who have been able to slowly start to welcome masked and socially distanced fans back into venues, and today, the Philadelphia Flyers announced that they’ll soon be one of them.
In a tweet that says ‘Back to Broad Street’ in huge lettering, the Wells Fargo Centre announced that they're now able to host about 3,100 fans for both Flyers and Sixers games.
Of course, the Flyers followed that up with all the hype for March 7th, when fans will finally enter the arena once more .
After all that action, the Flyers shared our favourite tweet of the bunch.
Have you ever been to a hockey game where one random and always super obnoxiously loud fan yells instructions at the players like they can hear them through the glass? Or have you experienced someone in your life yell instructions at a game on TV, where there’s actually NO likelihood of the players hearing them?
Well, same.
Clearly, so have the Flyers, and they shared this hilarious message about it.
Do you know how much the Flyers had to have missed their fans to say that about one of the most annoying tendencies in hockey?! A LOT.
We would trade one full game of listening to the loudest person in the arena yell ‘SHOOOOT’ at the ice just to watch a game in person these days, so we totally understand the sentiment.
