The White Sox and Cubs announced they will increase fan capacity at their stadiums to 60% this month.
The White Sox will increase capacity to approximately 24,300 fans at Guaranteed Rate Field beginning May 24 against the St. Louis Cardinals. The stadium can normally accommodate 40,615 fans.
Approval from city and state leadership and public health officials provided the green light.
The Cubs will begin 60% capacity at Wrigley Field on May 28 against the Cincinnati Reds. Wrigley’s normal capacity is over 41,000.
“We have been working toward this moment and have always looked forward to welcoming more fans back to Guaranteed Rate Field in a safe and responsible way,” Brooks Boyer, White Sox chief revenue and marketing officer said in a statement.
