As Opening Day of the 2021 MLB season approaches on Thursday, April 1, fans across the country will soon return to their home teams ballparks in most cases for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began.
But there will be limitations particularly when it comes to capacity that won t be uniform across the league. State and local governments will have a lot of say in determining how many fans can safely attend live sporting events (if any), figures that have already been changing frequently with fluctuations in the spread of COVID-19 and vaccination rates.
Last season, all regular-season games and most postseason contests were played in front of empty stands. During the National League Championship Series and World Series, both held at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, fans were allowed to attend in limited numbers representing about 28% of the stadium s full capacity.

All-Stars, Iowa cornfield, Arenado return spice MLB schedule
By JAY COHENMarch 8, 2021 GMT
CHICAGO (AP) After one of its strangest seasons ever, baseball returns to a full schedule this year. The All-Star Game is back. Fans are back, too, at least small crowds in some places. And an Iowa cornfield is about to welcome a bunch of special visitors.
Here are a handful of dates to mark on the calendar:
THURSDAY, APRIL 1
Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees: Opening day begins in the Bronx, with George Springer and the Blue Jays taking on DJ LeMahieu and the Yankees. Springer finalized a $150 million, six-year deal with Toronto in January, part of an active offseason for the Blue Jays. He batted .265 with 14 homers and 32 RBIs during his final year in Houston. While Springer found a new home in free agency, LeMahieu stayed in New York for a $90 million, six-year contract after he led the majors with a .364 batting average last season.
