BOSTON, MA – The Red Sox today announced safety protocols for fans attending Spring Training exhibition games at JetBlue Park in Lee County, Florida, outlining heightened sanitation procedures, reduced contact measures, and physical distancing practices that will be in place for all 15 home games.

Digital Game Tickets, Online Parking Passes, and Contactless Entry & Payment Options

To help reduce contact throughout the game-day experience, all fans will be issued a digital ticket through MLB’s Ballpark App, and parking pass sales will be available online. Entry to JetBlue Park will include contactless ticket scanning. All bags are prohibited with limited exceptions to accommodate medical needs and diaper bags. Metal detector settings will allow fans to keep common items like cell phones and key rings on during entry. No food and beverage sales will be conducted in the seating bowl. Contactless payment options will be available at all concession stands and merchandise points of sale. Mastercard is the preferred contactless payment option of the Boston Red Sox.

Physical Distancing and Face Coverings

Face coverings are required in all areas of JetBlue Park for both staff and guests ages 2 and up, with limited exceptions for those actively eating or drinking in their ticketed seat location. JetBlue Park will operate at approximately 24 percent of its normal capacity, allowing for physically distanced “pods” comprised primarily of 2-4 seats. In addition to having at least six feet between ticketed fans in the seating bowl, buffer zones will be created around the dugouts and bullpens to eliminate direct access to player areas (autographs are not permitted). Medical teams will be on site at all times and a dedicated isolation area will be available for fans experiencing potential COVID-19 symptoms.

Sanitation Stations and Enhanced Cleaning Protocols

Fans will have access to sanitation stations, provided by Lysol, located at all entrances throughout the concourses, and in all restrooms. An enhanced daily cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitation protocol at the ballpark will include frequent cleaning of high touch areas such as countertops, railings, doorknobs, and elevators, as well as increased cleaning of restrooms during games. All interior areas of the ballpark will be disinfected nightly.
