“It will be a captivating game, I’m sure, but it will be quiet,” says Strathcona owner Grant Olson. “It will be unlike any other Super Bowl we’ve ever had.” Like other bars across the province, the Strathcona is under orders to follow strict public health protocols. That means cutting off sales of alcohol at 10 p.m., closing at 11 and keeping TVs and music volumes low. Table groups will be kept to a maximum of six patrons within their respective bubbles, Olson said, and everyone has to wear a mask when not at their tables. With physical-distancing rules in effect, the Strathcona’s main floor of four separate bars will be held to about 220 patrons, down from 550. Olsen expects fewer than 200.
