capacity

Last season, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nobody took anybody out to the ballgame anywhere in the country except for the last rounds of the playoffs and World Series when Texas allowed a few thousand fans into Globe Life Field in Arlington.

When the word went out recently that in April all Illinois residents will become eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination, one of the things I kept hearing most was the pure joy at the thought of eating in restaurants again.

Okay, so it won't be at 100 percent capacity, but after a season of fan-less baseball games in 2020, it'll be nice to see people enjoying games at Chicago's ballparks in 2021.
