Other stadiums are beginning to welcome back more fans amid increased vaccinations and decreased cases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Dodgers will see a full-capacity stadium in person when they visit the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday.
One of their NL West rivals, the San Diego Padres, will see their home field Petco Park go back to full capacity on June 17. In New York, Yankee Stadium and Citi Field are allowed to have 100 percent capacity in their vaccinated sections.
The Texas Rangers' Globe Life Field has been at full capacity all year.
Those are just some examples as baseball begins to welcome more fans back to the ballpark this spring and summer.
As for the Dodgers, they'll certainly welcome back any fans to help them in the playoff push this year, which is setting up as a three-team race for the division crown between them, the San Francisco Giants and Padres. They currently sit third in the NL West, two games behind the first-place Giants.
