CHICAGO (WREX) � More fans will soon be allowed inside of Wrigley Field and U.S. Cellular Field.
The City of Chicago is allowing both the Cubs and White Sox to increase capacity to 60%.
The increase in capacity will go into effect for the Cubs starting May 28 while the White Sox will increase capacity starting May 24.
Before that, the Cubs will have a designated area specifically for fully vaccinated fans at Wrigley Field for a four-game series May 17-20 only.
The upper section of the center field Budweiser Bleachers will be designated for fully vaccinated fans. This area will be sold at full capacity and seats will not be physically distanced.
The White Sox will also feature a two vaccinated-only section for four games this weekend, May 14-16. Fans will need to present their vaccination cards or other proof they’ve been fully vaccinated along with a photo ID. These seats will not be socially distanced.
Beginning May 24, the White Sox will offer two vaccination sites for fans located at Guaranteed Rate Field. Every fan who receives a vaccination before a game will receive a $25 White Sox gift card for use inside the ballpark.
After May 28, face coverings will still be required for guests two years or older at Wrigley Field unless actively eating or drinking while seated, even in the fully vaccinated area, according to the Cubs.
