(WBNG) — In just a few short weeks, you’ll be able to enjoy local, live entertainment, even during the COVID-19 pandemic.

X-Cite wrestling is transforming the Oakdale Mall into a drive-in hub. Live wrestling, drive-in movies, and other outdoor events will start in August, after X-Cite received approval from the state.

The live entertainment is also the first of it’s kind to be approved by New York during the pandemic, pioneering the way for drive-in activities across the state.

“This is big because nobody else will be able to do it with an audience, unless they can figure out how to properly do it as a drive-in,” said X-Cite Owner Jonathan Musok.

Musok says the drive-in entertainment will pave the way for how sports could look throughout the pandemic. He says social distancing and strict guidelines will be maintained for all audiences and wrestlers.
