At game time the temperature was 77 degrees and Aaron Civale was on the hill for the Tribe. Friday’s game was dubbed “Opening Day 2.0.” Progressive Field was open at full capacity for the first time this season. 22,970 tickets were sold for tonight’s game. The last time the ballpark was open at full attendance levels was September 22, 2019.
I could feel the energy from the fans from the time they began filtering into the ballpark. They have waited two years to get be able enjoy the boys of summer in a fully open park.
Seattle’s Justin Dunn struggled in the first inning.
