Groups of up to 25% occupant capacity, not to exceed more than 150 people, are permitted so long as social distancing and face-covering requirements are met.

The maximum number of patrons for the entire venue (both indoors and outdoors and counting all self-contained spaces) may not exceed 750. Food service at indoor events must end at 10 p.m. The MCC continues to be a Minnesota Department of Health COVID-19 Community Testing Site.
