The Atlanta Braves will resume normal seating capacity at Truist Park beginning on Friday, May 7, the organization announced on Wednesday.
The Braves cited the rise in vaccinations across the Southeast as the reason for lifting the attendance restriction and will begin their third homestand of the season with a series against the Philadelphia Phillies.
“We have had great success welcoming our fans back safely to Truist Park,” said Derek Schiller, President and CEO of the Atlanta Braves. “Our outdoor environment, the demand from our season ticket holders and fans to watch us play in-person plus safety measures which are in place make it feel that now is the right time to get back to full capacity at Truist Park.”
All modified health and safety measures at Truist Park will remain in place. Measures include wearing a face-covering unless actively eating or drinking in your ticketed seat, cashless concessions, mobile ticketing and ordering, and a no bag policy. Enhanced sanitization efforts throughout the ballpark will also continue. Revisions to the seating capacity or other health and safety measures will be subject to continuous review throughout the season.
