Chicago’s Baseball Stadiums Will Reopen to Fans
Guaranteed Rate Field and Wrigley Field will open to fans at 20% capacity in April as part of the city’s “Open Chicago” efforts. Both Major League Baseball stadiums could potentially open to more fans as vaccination and recovery efforts continue.
“As a diehard sports fan myself, I’m personally excited to have Chicago take its first, cautious steps toward safely reopening our beloved baseball stadiums to fans this season,” said Mayor Lori Lightfoot. “We’re able to do that thanks to the commitment of our city’s two great baseball franchises who continue to work in close partnership with Chicago’s public health officials.”
Guaranteed Rate Field, home to the Chicago White Sox on the South Side, normally seats just over 40,000 guests but will be limited to 20%, or 8,122 fans with at least six feet between parties. Similarly, Wrigley Field capacity will be limited to 8,274 fans per game.
