A dream years in the making came true for Worcester on Tuesday, as Polar Park opened for the first Worcester Red Sox home game.
Around noon, fans started to trickle into the stadium that has nods to Worcester’s history: steel to represent the iconic Higgins Armory, local eats like Wonder Bar pizza, and the Smiley Ball mascot, honoring Harvey Ball’s creation of the smiley face in the city.
Tuesday’s game against the Syracuse Mets is scheduled to begin at 3:05 p.m. to a sell-out crowd of 2,377 fans. The number of fans currently allowed in the stadium is limited by the state’s COVID-19 guidelines. Guests got settled into Polar Park under sunny skies, wearing a mix of WooSox and PawSox attire.
