Progressive Field increases capacity for May

April 19th, 2021

CLEVELAND – After a month of successfully operating at 30 percent capacity at Progressive Field, the Indians announced on Monday that more fans will soon be able to attend the club's home games.

Starting on May 7 against the Reds (Cleveland’s first home game of the month), capacity at Progressive Field will increase from 30 percent to 40 percent (roughly 14,000 fans). The Indians will continue to determine its capacity limit on a monthly basis until the ballpark is back at full capacity. Tickets for all May home games will go on sale on May 3 at 10 a.m. ET on www.Indians.com/Tickets.

In April, fans were required to purchase pod-style seating in quantities of two or four tickets. Beginning with the May 7 homestand, fans at Progressive Field can be seated in “mixed pods,” or pods consisting of multiple groups from separate parties capped at 10 individuals.

Tickets will still be sold in quantities of two, four or six tickets (extremely limited amount of six-person pods available) to make up the mixed pods. All mixed pods will be socially distanced by approximately six feet from another mixed pod. All fans will be required to wear a Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommended face mask at all times while in the ballpark unless they are actively eating or drinking in ticketed seats.

For anyone looking to attend a game in May, the Indians have also released the following promotional schedule, highlighted by the return of Dollar Dog Night and postgame fireworks:
