The Reds may be able to have 30% fan capacity for Opening Day

The Cincinnati Reds have not announced anything yet as far as things go for Opening Day with regards to having fans in the stands. The decision isn’t up to them. But one of the people that it is up to, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said that he expects baseball season to start with 30% capacity for fans in the stands, according to The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosecrans.

Great American Ballpark holds abot 43,000 people. 30% of 43,000 is 12,900. I know what you’re thinking, funny reader, “so things as normal for most of the season! HAHAHA”, but no, that isn’t quite the average attendance – even in the bad years at Great American Ballpark.
