Sharks have plan for fans’ return

The Sharks announced Friday that they will allow fans at games at SAP Center beginning with an April 26 contest against the Coyotes. The team will host a dry run on April 24, when family members of players and organizational staff will be allowed in the San Jose arena for a game against the Wild.

The Sharks, who have not allowed fans at SAP Center since March 8, 2020, will require attendees ages 2 and older to have proof of a negative coronavirus test or proof of having received a complete COVID-19 vaccination — with the final dose received at least two weeks prior to the day of the game — before entering the arena.

Fans also will be required to wear masks in the arena.
