D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has approved the Washington Nationals’ request to play the upcoming 2021 season in the city, but for at least the time being, Nationals Park will not have fans in attendance.
In a letter from Dr. Christopher Rodriguez, the director of D.C.’s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, the city will reexamine the situation later this month to see if it’s possible to have fans at Nationals Park.
“We are assessing the prevalence and impact of new, more transmissible viral strains on the progress we are making through various public health measures, including our vaccination program, and expect to be able to get you some word on ticket sales for fans in the middle of the month,” Rodriguez’s letter read.
