The first scheduled Cubs 2021 Spring Training game is five weeks from Saturday. Per the schedule, it’ll happen Saturday, February 27 vs. the Dodgers at Sloan Park.
Major League Baseball has told teams to expect to start on time this year. Whether that happens or not is still an open question, but late Friday the Cubs sent an email to Sloan Park season-ticket holders about plans regarding seating for this year’s games.
In part, the email reads:
As part of updated guidance from MLB and in coordination with requirements and guidelines, we are shifting to limited, socially distanced pod-style seating for Spring Training games at Sloan Park in 2021.
