Orioles removing fan capacity restrictions (plus today's lineups)

The Orioles announced today that they'll no longer operate under crowd capacity restrictions at Camden Yards beginning June 1. The 25 percent limit is lifted.

Tickets for all remaining home games will go on sale at noon on Wednesday, May 26. The Orioles will offer a two-hour online presale to fans who subscribe to the free digital Insider Newsletter.

Social distancing will no longer be required between groups of ticket holders. Pod seating will continue to be available in select sections for fans wishing to distance from others.

The Orioles also specified that fans must adhere to the Gameday Health and Safety policies while at the ballpark, including the wearing of masks unless eating or drinking at their seats. The club will continue to utilize digital ticketing and keep the ballpark cashless.

The series with the Rays closes today with Ryan Mountcastle at first base and Trey Mancini as the designated hitter.
