The Dodgers have launched their Fan Safety Portal at Dodgers.com/FanSafety, with updated policies and procedures for games at Dodger Stadium to start the 2021 season. The portal will be updated as more protocols are finalized.
Tickets:
- All tickets will be issued digitally and scanned at stadium entrances from mobile devices. All game tickets will be delivered via the MLB Ballpark app, ensuring a touchless entry.
- Dodger Stadium’s available capacity will be determined by California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy reopening framework, with 20% capacity permitted in the Red tier, 33% in the Orange tier, and 67% in the Yellow tier.
Distancing:
- Fans will be seated in physically distanced pods of two, three, four, five, or six seats.
- The Dodgers will encourage social distancing at all times at Dodger Stadium, with capacity limited in elevators, restrooms, and indoor areas. Fans should refrain from congregating on the concourse, where signage and floor markers will indicate six feet of separation. Unused seats will be zip-tied and stanchions will be placed in higher trafficked areas to promote separation.
Promoting a contactless experience:
- Only clear bags will be permitted with a maximum size of 12”x12”x6” – the size of a one-gallon freezer bag. Bags, backpacks, coolers, large purses, etc., are no longer permitted with the exception of bags carried for medical reasons or manufactured diaper bags that accompany infants and young children.
- All purchases in the ballpark will be contactless and cashless. The team has installed cash-to-card kiosks throughout Dodger Stadium to assist with the transition to cashless transactions. Cash-to-card kiosks will accept cash and add value to a Mastercard debit cash card, which can be used at Dodger Stadium or anywhere Mastercard is accepted.
- Parking must be purchased in advance to reduce contact for fans and employees.
Face Coverings:
- Appropriate face coverings will be required for all fans ages two (2) and above unless fans are eating or drinking in their ticketed seats. Neck gaiters, bandanas, and masks with valves are not considered appropriate face coverings.
Smoke-free Dodger Stadium:
- Dodger Stadium and its surrounding parking lots are now smoke-free, including prohibiting the use of electronic cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products on Dodger Stadium property.
Enhanced cleaning, sanitization, and hygiene:
- Dodger Stadium will engage in best practices in cleaning, sanitization, and hygiene. Hand sanitizing stations have been added through the ballpark and additional staff will be on-site for cleaning high-touch areas throughout events. All bathrooms have been modified to reduce capacity and will utilize touchless soap and towel dispensers. Plexiglass dividers have also been added to information kiosks and other areas of interaction.
Parking and stadium gates:
- With reduced capacity, parking lots will open 1.5 hours prior to the game, and stadium gates will open one hour before first pitch.

Procedures for ordering food and beverage will be announced at a later date.
Following the completion of the re-seating process for Season Ticket Members, single-game tickets are expected to go on sale at a to-be-determined date later this month. Through Sunday (March 28), fans are invited to register for the opportunity to purchase limited Opening Day ticket pods at Dodgers.com/OpeningDay.

@Dodgers Pretty much leaves out any fans who attend games solo. Hate the clear bag policy. Glad the games are televised.
That sounds like no fun at all. I won’t be going to another game in person until it’s back to the old normal.
I haven’t heard anything from Dodgers PR yet, but I ordered a clear backpack from Amazon just in case that applies to the media as well.
Gonna be a loooong year.
lots of holes in the information flow at this point; the have told us that those masks are unacceptable but have not been clear about what is. the very gaiters they were pushing and wearing last year are no longer okay. why dont they give us the masks they want us to wear? what a great give away item for opening day and the first games for the A and B schedule!! they have asked us not to bring food any more but not been clear about what food would be available, if any, at this point, or how it will be obtained. we have been told that we will most likely have to order it from our seats by an app but don’t know if it will be delivered or picked up. the employees have “been warned not to touch us” no hugging or hand shakes, ok bummer, yet understood, but i bet i still get cavity searched 15 times by june 2 as my implants set off the alarm at the gate.
i absolutely agree that it’s
Gonna be a loooong year.
Thanks for sharing the tips. I am using this to make others understand
