PHOENIX — It's official: Spring Training is on -- and tickets are set to go on sale for some teams later this week.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all of the stadiums in the Arizona Cactus League will operate at significantly reduced capacities, allowing a reduced number of fans to attend each game.
Unsurprisingly, the experience will be a bit different due to the pandemic -- masks are required to be worn throughout the stadiums except when actively eating or drinking, no bags will be allowed inside the stadiums aside from small clutches, wallets, diaper bags and medical bags, and pre-game practices and autographs will be closed to the public.
