The Toronto Blue Jays have announced that they will be increasing their capacity at Sahlen Field for fully vaccinated fans starting on June 15 for their game against the New York Yankees, per release.
"The Blue Jays worked with local officials, including the Department of Health, to safely increase overall seating capacity to 45 per cent, of which 66 per cent of seats are in fully vaccinated sections while 34 per cent are in physically distanced pods," said the release.
Previously, the Blue Jays had announced that their seating capacity would allow up to 35 per cent, in accordance with CDC guidelines as well as New York state guidelines.
Though fans are no longer required to wear face coverings while in the outdoor seating bowl at Sahlen Field, the Blue Jays are requiring those in attendance to wear them in indoor areas and suggest fans who are not fully vaccinated to wear face coverings at all times.
This mask requirement is on top of fans needing ID that matches their COVID-19 vaccination record as COVID-19 testing is no longer required for any fans to enter the ballpark.
