When the Atlanta Braves take the field for their home opener on Friday, April 9 against the Philadelphia Phillies, they will welcome fans back for the first time since October 2019.
The team will open Truist Park with a 33 percent capacity and due to evolving COVID-19 pandemic changes, capacity will be revisited for each homestand, the team announced Friday.
