NBC 6 sports anchor Ruthie Polinsky is at loanDepot park, where the Marlins kicked off their 29th season of action Thursday with fans in the stands for the first time in two years.
Fans of the Miami Marlins will soon get a chance to fill up loanDepot park with the team allowing full capacity starting July 5th.
The team announced several new health and safety policies at the stadium, including fans no longer being required to wear masks or facial coverings starting with the team’s upcoming series Friday against the New York Mets.
Fans who have not been vaccinated are still encouraged to wear masks and all employees will still wear facial coverings and undergo health screenings daily until further notice.
Social distancing pods will remain through June.
