The Chicago Cubs are planning to allow around 50 percent capacity at Wrigley Field to begin the 2021 season amid the COVID-19 pandemic, per ESPN's Jesse Rogers.
Season-ticket holders will get first priority for seating, per Rogers. Since they make up about 50 percent of the stadium's capacity, it's feasible that season-ticket holders will be the only fans allowed in the ballpark.
The decision is in response to "advice from medical experts, as well as restrictions because of local ordinances," per Rogers.
Chicago is hoping to allow full capacity at Wrigley Field before the 2021 season ends, but there is no guarantee that will happen with medical experts uncertain about when there will be a COVID-19 vaccine.
