It’ll be an Opening Day like no other as fans return to Fenway Park on Thursday for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

“It’s going to be interesting," one fan said. "I think they’ll have their ups and downs."

But the Red Sox say they’re ready to play ball and keep everyone safe. Fenway’s capacity is capped at 12-percent, or a little more than 4,500 people. Seating will be in pods of two, four and six.

“A lot of the camaraderie, a lot of the high-fives and hugs that you would see for a home run or for a walk-off, those are things we're trying to discourage,” said Red Sox executive Pete Nesbit.

Ticketing will take place online and through your phone. Plexiglass and hand sanitizers are in place. Concession stands will be open for cash purchases. But fans are encouraged to pay for beer and hot dogs electronically.

More than 30,000 seats in the ball park have been zip-tied shut to keep people out of them and away from each other.

”We can be an opportunity for people to gather in a safe place,” said Red Sox executive Sarah McKenna.

While the state’s COVID case numbers are rising, Fenway Park is a big place. The Sox say they’ll be watching to see what happens -- so will fans.

”The park’s going to do their job to make sure everyone has a good time and everyone remains safe,” said one fan.

The Red Sox say if you’re coming to ballpark, be patient and make sure you give yourself plenty of time. You’ll have to take a health survey before getting into Fenway.

Also singing is not allowed so hopefully not sweet caroline.

We have had high definition television for two decades now. Why do people still attend games?

Puking and fighting are still allowed though, right?

In the bleachers, yes. You have to go out of your way to find someone to fight or spill your beer on, but yes

Do come, park, buy tickets, souvenirs and food, but please do NOT enjoy yourself. 

Ed did say there are people to fight and spill beer on, I bet half of those are in wheelchairs, so to each their own

Sounds like they want to emulate North Korea.  The government will recruit thousands of "cheerleaders" to sit in the stands.  They will be given training on how to cheer, when to cheer, when to hold organized paper placards above their heads to display the approved government message.

If Covid gets rid of 'The Wave' at baseball games - it will have almost been worth it.
