'We're back!': With capacity restrictions lifted June 1, Tigers, MSU, UM prepare for full stadiums

Goodbye extra leg room, hello high-fiving a total stranger.

At Dow Diamond in Midland on Thursday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced outdoor capacity restrictions will be entirely lifted June 1, meaning sports teams can start selling as many tickets as their facilities fit. Whether sports teams do that immediately is up to each one.

Most are ready to go, with a couple of notable — and probably temporary — holdouts.

The big decision, given the season, involves the Tigers, who didn't provide specifics Thursday — but made their intentions clear in a Twitter post Thursday afternoon.
