MLB Stadiums to Extend Protective Netting to Ends of Both Dugouts
In an effort to increase fan safety in ballparks, Major League Baseball will expand protective netting to the ends of both dugouts in all 30 stadiums.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the move in a statement released on Thursday, via MLB.com's Joe Trezza:
"Providing baseball fans with a variety of seating options when they come to the ballpark, including seats behind protective netting, is important. Major League Clubs are constantly evaluating the coverage and design of their ballpark netting, and I am pleased that they are providing fans an increased inventory of protected seats."
