Attendance will be limited to less than 15,000 — about 3,600 fewer than the one-third capacity allowed in the state’s orange tier — to allow for social distancing.

All fans are required to wear a face covering over their nose and mouth and practice social distancing. Hand-sanitizing stations and plexiglass dividers have been added. While the New York Yankees, New York Mets and San Francisco Giants require fans to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test, that’s not necessary at Dodger Stadium.
