Coors Field To Allow Fans Back In Stadium At 25% Capacity

DENVER, CO — The Colorado Rockies were approved for a variance that allows fans back into Coors Field.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment approved the variance, which will allow 12,500 fans into the stadium on opening day — 25% of the stadium's capacity.

The Rockies will begin the season at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers April 1.

"To create a safe and healthy experience for fans, players and staff, the Rockies have implemented all required CDPHE, CDC and MLB policies and guidelines," the team said in a statement.

"The Rockies and CDPHE will continue to monitor the conditions, with the hope of safely adding to the capacity number in the future."
