In order to allow fans back into McCormick Field, the Asheville Tourists are having to make extensive changes to create a safe environment for all. The excitement of baseball will be the same, but many aspects of the gameday experience will look different.
Face Coverings: All attendees 5 and older must wear a face covering over their nose and mouth at all times. Face coverings may be temporarily removed when actively eating or drinking at your ticketed seat.
Reduced Capacity: McCormick Field will operate at a 30% capacity as determined by state, local, and Major League Baseball guidelines.
Bags: No bags will be permitted in accordance with Major League Baseball’s Health and Safety Protocols. Exceptions may be made for medical bags and manufactured diaper bags that accompany infants and young children.
Pod Seating: Game tickets will be distributed in “pods” to support physical distancing between each group of fans. These pods are arranged with reasonable social distancing in every direction.
Purchasing Tickets: All tickets must be purchased online in advance of the game. Additionally, all flex vouchers must be exchanged in advance of the game.
Limited Seating/Tickets: While operating at a reduced capacity, there will be a limited number of tickets available for purchase each game.
Digital Tickets/Flex Vouchers: Tickets and flex vouchers will be accessed digitally. Guests may print tickets at home or use a smartphone to enter. Will-call pick up will not be available.
Cashless: McCormick Field will be a cashless facility. This includes all food and beverage locations, including the Tourists Trap. All major credit cards, as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, will be accepted.
Opening Day is scheduled for Tuesday, May 4, with a home contest against the Brooklyn Cyclones. Visit milb.com/asheville for additional information.
Subject to change. The final plans will be released prior to Opening Day.
