Having OCD and being risk-averse, I wasn't always comfortable, but now that I've had dose #2 (and the two weeks has passed), I have to do something. It was an OK experience. Sat third row behind the visitors dugout. Someone right behind us and nobody in rows 1 and 2. Maybe no-shows, but if those seats were not sold, then..? (We moved up to the front row and had distance).The staff did OK with masks. The fans? Not so much.
I went to the Twins/Sox game Monday & Tuesday this week too!
GO GO White Sox!
I'm 2 weeks out from my second shot. It was great to walk around outside without a mask on!
When I went a few weeks ago, a bunch of the seats were zip-tied closed to keep groups separated. Zip-ties are gone now.
I think they are still limiting capacity though. I notices all the seats at the end of the row, on the aisle, are not being sold.
I'm sure you enjoyed monday more than tuesday. For my part, I'm really glad I chose Tuesday.
Anyway, my two weeks was complete on Sunday and since I'd come this far, I decided to consider myself "unvaccinated" until then. I was disappointed when the Twins opened more seats because I wanted to go in the 10000 capacity (not for covid reasons; just for the sparse crowd).
Covid or no covid, it's pretty nice not have giant lines and the outrageously packed concourse for the final 30 minutes before first pitch. All in all, it was a pretty good experience not dealing with crowds. Also, it was probably my 50th or 60th game there and only the second time I went by car and parking was a breeze...
You won't have to worry about crowds if the Twins keep playing like they have been this season....
The game I went to that had 10,000 capacity wasn't much different from last night. Lots of room to spread out, no lines for food, parking was easy.0 -

mind you, I'm not an infectious disease specialist. Just read a bunch that masks outdoors are kinda dumb.0 -

it's not a massive deal. I just don't get why you get dirty looks when following the guidelines.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

had a thought for all the anti-vaxxers out there.....like Contagion seemed to be a crazy foreshadowing to this pandemic, maybe these vaccines that were "rushed" will enter us in to the the Handmaid's Tale or Children of Men phase of our history.

New data has allowed Pfizer to approve storage of the vaccine at refrigerator temperatures for up to one month after thawing, which is huge in terms of accessibility for remote areas across North America and much of the world. This was what was supposed to be the benefit of AZ, which is now so plagued with concerns about clots.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
