The Dallas Stars announced on Sunday that they would allow fans for the start of the 2020-21 NHL season. Stars president and CEO Brad Alberts stated that they would have approximately 5,000 fans to start the season.
This is not surprising due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but the hope is that once everything settles down, more fans will be allowed to attend games.

The system will be similar to watch parties that occurred back in September for the Stanley Cup Finals. Although the Stars came up just short to the Tampa Bay Lightning, falling to them in 6 games in the final, Dallas hopes to have another deep postseason run with their current core.
The NHL and NHLPA reached an agreement to have a 2020-21 season on Sunday. The season will start on January 13 and end on May 8. The divisions are quite a bit different this season, along with the playoff system being altered. The NHL has not had a game since September 28, which was game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, where the Tampa Bay Lightning were crowned champions for the first time since 2004.
