Crews worked tirelessly to prepare for the return of fans by disinfecting all over the place, and they'll continue to pay attention to high-touch areas throughout the game.
Capacity was capped at 20%, which means about 8,500 fans were allowed inside.
In order to attend, fans must prove they've either recently tested negative for COVID-19 or that they're fully vaccinated. Masks and social distancing are required.
Paper tickets are a thing of the past for now, with all tickets being sent digitally.
Concessions will be open -- but no cash is being accepted.
The virtual first pitch was featured three people who fought or helped in the fight against COVID-19, including a 16-year-old girl who was put on a ventilator and survived.
