It feels like SO long since we’re been able to see a pro baseball game. Mayor Lori Lightfoot just announced that the Cubs and White Sox will be allowing fans to attend games next month.
Something for eager fans to keep in mind: both stadiums will only be admitting 20% capacity. MLB put out a list of protocols eager Cubs fans will need to keep in mind, should they want to get into Wrigley Field this season.
While a lot has changed since we were last together, our commitment to you remains the same: We will provide a safe, clean and friendly environment for you to enjoy Cubs baseball. https://t.co/JEZ0IU920j#CubTogether pic.twitter.com/rFXp8Kvtwh

Seasoned ticket-holders are getting top priority. Cubs seating will keep fans in separate zones to allow spread out seating and there will be no bleacher seats available.
Gallagher Way is reopening as an entry and exit point for attending fans. Masks will be required at all times when not eating and drinking while sitting. That does mean concessions are coming back, but fans will have to stick to the ones in their section of Wrigley. Restrooms on the other hand will be available to all in an effort to reduce the formation of lines.
