In this way the Corona epidemic affects the activity of Gatorade Center
Restrictions on public events will continue at least until 26.4.2021
How have the restrictions affected the activity of the Center?
Gatorade Center has been hosting public events for decades. It's the home arena of the hockey team TPS and the go-to venue for large public events in the Turku area. Before covid, the bustling arena was full of energy and - best of all - people filled with joy. We have been lucky to have been able to experience and share contless moments that will forever be remembered, from rousing concerts to hockey games.
Gatorade Center's mission has always been to bring people together and to create a place for experiencing something new and exciting. Do you remember the energy that fills the room when your favorite artist walks on stage? The excitement when the puck is dropped? How the sound of the buzzer gets lost in the cheers and applauds when the home team scores a winning goal? We do.
This is how it was, till December 2019 when covid spread around the world and arrived to Finland. To protect the ones closest to us, strict restrictions were put in place. Along with other venues, Gatorade Center had to temporarily close its doors.
Gatorade Center strictly adhered - and still adheres - to the restrictions set by the Southwest Finland's Regional Administraive Agency to play its part in slowing down the aggravation of the infection. Because of the restrictions, events couldn't be arranged and were been postponed.
TPS Liiga games will continue normally towards the Playoffs. The League continues taking into account regional restrictive measures in accordance with a previosuly published progam. The regional restriction measures do not affect the League regular season program. Matches are played without audience as the regional audience restrictions continues. TPS has been in contact with season ticket holders and partners about this.
TPS-lunch will be suspended for now, starting 29.3.2021
Looking forward to the future!
