\nIt is an optional exception to the general mask requirement if the event operator chooses to require proof of vaccination for all attendees,\u201d<\/strong> the governor said. \u201cWe’re giving our private sector partners the choices and flexibility to lead in this area.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nAfter playing last season in an empty Allegiant Stadium because of the pandemic, Saturday\u2019s preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks was the first game for fans to watch in person.<\/p>\n
