The highly anticipated two-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park this week was played in front of a full capacity crowd for the first time this season.
The increase in fans helped create an atmosphere that neither team had experienced since 2019. It was a welcome sight for the likes of Clayton Kershaw and Justin Turner, who felt the games had a more normal feel to them.
Many other ballparks are beginning to follow suit with easing restrictions as well, including Dodger Stadium, which is set to return to full capacity on June 15.
