Cavaliers issue temporary mask mandate for games at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse

Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse will now require that all fans (ages 2 and over) attending Cavaliers games and all other events wear a mask that covers both mouth and nose when inside the venue and in their seats unless actively eating or drinking. The mask requirement goes into effect starting this Friday, December 31st for the Cavs vs. Atlanta Hawks game at 7:30 p.m.

Neck gaiters, bandanas and masks with valves or vents do not meet health and safety standards and will not be permitted. If a guest does not have an approved mask at time of entry, a mask will be provided at no cost.

The decision to implement the requirement is a result of continued monitoring of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in Cuyahoga County and throughout the country in conjunction with close consultation with local health experts. The mask requirement is currently scheduled to be in effect through January 31, 2022.
