There won't be an Opening Day parade, but there may be fans at the game.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Monday that 30% capacity at outdoor pro sporting events was a “logical place to start.”
That’s good news for local sports fans that missed out on a chance to cheer in-person in 2020, and particularly for Reds and FC Cincinnati followers as neither fan base was permitted to attend games last year.
With the potential for 30% attendance, that amounts to nearly 12,700 fans for Reds games at Great American Ball Park and likely about 7,800 spectators at FC Cincinnati’s new, 26,000-capacity West End Stadium, which is set to open in May.
