MILWAUKEE, WI — Fans sitting within 15 feet of the court at the Fiserv Forum will need proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative test within 48 hours of the game, the Milwaukee Bucks announced Monday.

The new rule follows an NBA mandate and applies to rows AAA, BBB, CCC and DDD. All four sections are within 15 feet of the court, and fans will need to wear a mask while in their seats.

Fans can show their vaccine cards or a photo of the front and back of it when entering Fiserv Forum, the Bucks said. Or fans can provide a negative COVID-19 test result by showing an electronic or paper copy when entering the arena.

Everyone indoors was advised to wear a mask regardless of vaccination status, the Bucks said. Fans sitting beyond the four rows of courtside seats weren't required to be vaccinated against COVID-19, to provide a negative test or to wear a face mask.
