It is officially Opening Day and Coors Field will be welcoming limited fans back to the ballpark for the first time since 2019.

The stadium is limited to 42.6 percent capacity, with 21,363 people allowed inside. Coors Field may look a little different this season, so here is what to expect when you return:

Tickets and Seating
– Tickets will be sold in groups of 2, 3 or 4 seating pods and prohibitions put on purchasing less than the full pod (i.e., cannot purchase only 2 tickets in a 4-ticket seating pod).

– Seating pods are disbursed around the Ballpark to create in-stadium seating. Each pod has no one sitting in front, behind or on either side.

– No standing-room-only tickets will be sold, including on the Rooftop.

– There will be no paper tickets; digital/mobile tickets will be used to eliminate contact and assist with contact tracing.

Around the Ballpark
– 38 out of 66 turnstile entrances to the Ballpark will be open to provide social distancing.

– Gates will have stanchions and social distancing markers on the grounds in order to maintain traffic flow.

– Directional arrows on the concourses indicate one-way traffic flow patterns in the Ballpark.

– All parking lots at Coors Field will be open and will only accept credit cards or pre-purchased permits.

– Guests will be required to wear face masks on the parking shuttles at all times.

Concessions
– All concession stands will be open throughout the Ballpark with 240 out of 495 register lines to provide for social distancing.

– There will be no concession vendors “hawking” in the stands or anywhere else in the Ballpark.

– Condiments (ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, etc.) will only be offered in single-use packets at the concession stands upon purchase.

– Access to drink rails, including on the Rooftop, will be prohibited.

– All transactions will be cashless to minimize contact. There will be two (2) cash exchange machines located in the Ballpark to accommodate fans.

Bathrooms
– All restrooms in the Ballpark will be open.

– Capacity signage will be posted outside of restrooms.

– Where possible, doors will be propped open.

Other Information
– The Club’s mascot, Dinger, will not make any in-game appearances.
