That should not be a problem - at least in theory - in an outdoor area as large as the sprawling Starlight Theater, which could hold the concerts with as much as an 80 percent or 85 percent reduction in seating capacity. The current guidelines posted on the Centers for Disease Control’s website indicate that any in-person gatherings provide at least 6 feet of space between attendees. So far as can be determined, the state of California currently does not permit outdoor concerts to be held in any setting, with the exception of drive-in concerts, such as Switchfoot’s June 7 drive-in concert in a parking lot at Petco Park. In response to a third inquiry, the Pala representative said: “The best I can provide is that Pala is reducing capacity to comply with state and other regulatory recommendations.” In response to an email query from the Union-Tribune, a Pala representative said: “The events will be held with reduced capacity.”Īsked to elaborate, the representative said: “Unfortunately, that is all the information that I have.” The announcement of the 10 concerts made no specific reference to the capacity for the upcoming concerts at Pala, whose casino re-opened on May 22. But attendance for each concert at the 2,251-seat venue will be significantly reduced - although exactly how reduced remains unclear. The size of the Starlight Theater’s 40-by-60-foot stage, which debuted in 2015, will remain the same. Additionally, all guests will have their temperature screened at the entrance to the casino.” Guests will be asked to wear facial coverings and practice safe social distancing throughout each of these events.

“Pala Casino is committed to following the guidelines and recommendations issued by the Centers for Disease Control for businesses.
