Sitting in a stadium of sports fans may seem like a thing of the past, but 2,500 lucky people might get the chance to watch a live NHL playoff game at Montreal's Bell Centre this month.

Quebec has recently announced a summer reopening plan that will allow indoor and outdoor venues to host up to 2,500 attendees in sections of 250 people as of May 28.

As such, Montreal's home arena could be able to welcome fans back if the Montreal Canadiens and the Maple Leafs make it to Game 6 of the series which is slated to land on May 29.

This will be the case for any game that takes place after May 28 in Quebec.

While 2,500 people may sound like a lot, it's only about 12% of the Bell Centre's regular capacity.
