ScootsMcGoots Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I hate and will forever hate calling it Guaranteed Rate Field lol. For those who have gone to games, what has your ballpark experience been like so far? How is it different compared to the normal years? I've heard rumors of people being forced into the upper deck when they paid for lower deck seats, has that been happening? How has the parking been? The social distancing and mask wearing? The enforcement of social distancing and mask wearing? The concessions and bathrooms? Something about new strobe lights and no fireworks I've heard? No promotions? Anything else worth noting?

Pal Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Not very different. They try to keep you contained to certain sections. Concessions same. Parking same. Bathroom same. They dont bust your balls about the mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I just have no desire to go yet which is unfortunate since I haven't been to a game since end of 2019. Might be 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoUEvenShift Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I haven't gone yet this year but I highly recommend sitting in the 300 level if you haven't before. Much lower foot traffic, smaller sections, and you can go inside for a bit to warm up while it's still cold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35thstreetswarm Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 It’s actually nice to be on a little island with your own group in the seats and not tripping over other people. Feels pretty normal once you settle in. Surprised at how loud the limited capacity crowd gets. Kind of love it, really. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I was disappointed by the lack of mask enforcement during the KC series, it was much better tonight. I've never been within 6 feet of someone for more than ~30 seconds, and even then we were masked and (obviously) outdoors. Overall I'd say it's pretty nice and definitely worth it if you're on the fence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the one thing that I have heard that I don't really care for is the moving of fans from the lower deck to upper deck. I purchased lower deck seats on Seat Geek, some really good seats, and I don't want to be pushed to the upper deck. And I guess I understand why they might have to do that, but still. Everything else I'm fine with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I went opening day. Lines were easily avoidable...there were none in the bathroom. Some for food and beverage but I never felt overwhelmed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else I'm fine with. I don't think you will get moved if you purchase a ticket. I believe once they approved 20% some people with 100 level season tickets/ticket packages were asked to move to different locations (including 500 level) to accommodate the limited capacity. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBooneLoganEra Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I thought it was mostly fine. Don't like being confined to one area of the park but not a big deal. They were still doing piped in crowd noise opening day which was obnoxious and unnecessary. Did they still do that for the Cleveland series? Would like to see them add capacity soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
