"T-Mobile Park will reopen at 25% capacity for the Mariners' Opening Day against the San Francisco Giants. Safety measures include a ban on all bags, digital tickets to reduce contact between fans and staff, seating 'pods' limited to 2, 4, or 6 people, and a significant safety overhaul of the food experience. Food and drinks must be purchased at fixed kiosks and counters, and the concourses will have plexiglass barriers and cashless payment systems. Premium seating servers will have face shields and double masks, and contactless ordering via QR codes will be available. Masks are mandatory for everyone aged two or older except when eating or drinking. There will be around 48 vendors compared to the usual 100, including returning favorites and new additions. Health officials are concerned about the reopening, but food service workers will be eligible for vaccines before the season starts." - Gabe Guarente
