(Reuters) - Baseball fans packed the stands of Globe Life Field on Monday after the Texas Rangers opened their doors to 100% capacity, making the game the first North American sporting event without attendance restrictions since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The team said it was a sellout, with 38,238 in attendance under an open roof on a sunny day at the Arlington, Texas, stadium, the only one in baseball to allow full capacity after Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the state to fully reopen last month.
Television cameras showed most fans not wearing masks, which were required at the ballpark when not eating or drinking.
Abbott also ended the state's mask mandate last month.
President Joe Biden and officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have warned against holding events with large crowds out of fear they could create a super-spreader event.

Please tell the CDC, Fauci, illegitimate POTUS Biden, we don’t care to hear your lies anymore.
The team said it was a sellout, with 38,238 in attendance?
Trump got that many at political rallies. Over and over and over.
We Chief-Wahoo-Less Clevelanders get to sit spaced out at our games. And you watch, couple years ago Chief Wahoo was stripped away by a half a dozen misfits, and this year you can't wear any costume stuff or makeup of an "Indian" nature. Coming up next year or the year after, the name "Indians" will be stripped away. PLAY BALL . . . I'm done with MLB . . . where's Roller Derby, a true and honest sport?
Lots of stupid people. Giving money to MLB? They’re punishing you for being conservative. Idiots.
“Lots of stupid people. Giving money to MLB? They’re punishing you for being conservative. Idiots.”
I agree...
“That’s a shame. “
Regards,
Lots of Conservatives helping to pay the salaries of fellow Texans who keep the stadium running, sell the food, make the rolls that get delivered to the hot dog vendors, etc. Those people didn't do anything wrong.
You want to hurt MLB? Turn off your television. TV revenues are more important to the bottom line than ticket sales.
Lots of stupid people. - thats what conservatives are to the left. And I tend to agree 6qith them... Mostly. Conservativesay have to face facts and ,Like “ common sense” they are a minority/ rarity in the U.S..

If it was a giant gathering of full blown Nazi’s would you say the same thing?
Well that is in essence where the left and MLB in this instance is trying to take us. Time for these folks to find another venue to ply their trades.
If those Conservatives spent their money and time doing something else, that's where the jobs would be. They would be working, just not for the MLB.
And if we hadn't shipped the manufacturing and tech jobs out of the country, they might be working as techs instead.
Yeah, well, MLB is dead. Kaput, aced. 86’d.
No more.
Too bad but it is no longer something I can care about or support.
Yeah, I thought MLB was on our S list?
“Those people didn’t do anything wrong.”
...or did they? I suspect that most are from ‘the city’ and that’s where the problems are, which include rioting, voter fraud, and simply 90%+ Democrat voting.
While that it might be collective ‘punishment’ to not hand over my dollars to them (arguable, by the way), they are doing it to our side in horrific ways now (hopefully people fully understand that), so those are the new rules, and we should play by them.
Texans letting everyone down again. If you are a freedom lover, you do not support and promote woke sports. There’s no excuses anymore, you’re just brainwashed, or spineless or both.
Screw MLB. Yet another sport I will never again watch.
Makes we wonder if any tickets were comped...
Well said Osh.
My buddies that own businesses around Fenway Park and the TD garden in Boston are getting hammered. You’re right...hit them with the TV money.
But punishing the concessions people and the local bars and restaurants sucks.
