The wait soon will be over.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker on Thursday will announce that, starting in March, fans will be allowed to return to professional sporting events at stadiums and arenas, according to multiple reports. Baker will announce the news during a press conference scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. ET.
TD Garden, Fenway Park and Gillette Stadium all have prohibited fan entry since first closing their doors last March amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
