CLEVELAND — Beginning on June 2, Progressive Field will return to full capacity and will make masks optional for guests, the Cleveland Indians announced on Tuesday.
The news that the ballpark will return to pre-pandemic times comes after Gov. Mike DeWine’s announcement ending Ohio’s coronavirus health orders.
Tickets to all remaining home games will be on sale to the general public beginning Wednesday, May 26 at 10 a.m. Buy tickets HERE.
The return to full capacity comes at a time when Progressive Field will host a seven-game homestead against Seattle and Baltimore.
"We know that COVID's not done but we've gotten to a great spot, you know with people getting vaccines that we're able to get, thanks to the governor," said communications vice president Curtis Danburg. "We're excited. I know the fans are excited and the community is excited to get back to that normalcy."
Also starting June 2, masks will be optional at Progressive Field and will no longer be required to enter the ballpark.
"Obviously masks are going to be optional. There are still going to be people that wear masks, so being respectful of everybody coming to Progressive Field. At the end of the day, it's about cheering for the Tribe and getting ready for a very exciting summer," said Danburg.
The full return of the Kids Clubhouse and Family Deck will also return with the June 11 homestand.
All 2021 Season Ticket Holders, Flex Voucher plans and Six Pack plans will receive pre-sale access to additional tickets for remaining 2021 home games before being made available to the general public.
