899 Killer Bees fans will be allowed in the stands
October 1, 2024
The Alvinston Killer Bees will have to cap the number of fans in the local arena to about 900 people.
The Municipality of Brooke-Alvinston and the club decided to look at what the actual occupancy of the arena was after a very successful season last year saw people lined three deep around the boards and sitting on the stairs. The local fire chief voiced concerns about the number of people in the building, particularly when the Petrolia Squires came to town.
The club can sell up to 899 tickets for the games. That drops to just 300 people if the auditorium is booked for another event on a game night.
