2G wish fulfilled: Oldenburg plays in front of up to 5000 fans

The club announced on Wednesday. The 2G rule last publicly requested by the Oldenburgers is used.

The previous week, EWE Baskets had requested permission for “full capacity utilization at 2G” in an open letter to Lower Saxony’s Prime Minister Stephan Weil and even considered a legal dispute because of the threat of distortion of competition. Now the club may apply 2G, even if not all 6000 places against the Hakro Merlins Crailsheim on September 28th (8.30 p.m. / MagentaSport) can be occupied.

“An option that we are also considering, which envisaged the application of the 3G rule for up to 5000 viewers, is not permitted under the current Corona regulation,” said Hermann Schüller, Managing Director of Oldenburg: “We are thus taking a path that will Balancing act between the greatest possible security for everyone in the arena and economic framework conditions guaranteed in the best possible way. “

Under the new regulation, the 2G rule makes it possible to dispense with the distance rules and require a mask in the large EWE Arena.
