Major League Baseball announced it will allow up to 11,500 fans in the stands for the National League Championship Series and World Series, both of which will be held at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced changes to MLB's playoff schedule, including holding the final three postseason rounds in Arlington, Houston, Los Angeles and San Diego to limit travel and form de facto bubbles in order to protect ballclubs from the coronavirus.
Games have largely been held without fans this year, although a limited number of home team family members have been allowed in the stands for Wild Card Series games this week.
