Masks Are Encouraged, But No Longer Required for Fans OutdoorsFort Wayne, Indiana (May 18, 2021) — After receiving updated guidance from both the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Major League Baseball (MLB) late last week, the TinCaps have modified Parkview Field’s health and safety protocols, and also have plans for increasing the ballpark’s seating capacity.
Parkview Field Mask Policy
(Effective Immediately)
- Guests at Parkview Field are encouraged to wear masks, but masks will no longer be required in any open-air spaces within Parkview Field.

Parkview Field’s capacity is expected to increase incrementally as the TinCaps’ season continues through September.
“Increasing capacity is not as easy as just flipping a switch,” said TinCaps Team President Mike Nutter. “We’re applying the same amount and level of care to increasing the number of guests we can welcome to the ballpark as we did when we originally created our plan to start the season. We are excited to welcome more fans very soon, but we want to do so in a way that allows us to provide them with the great family entertainment experience they have come to expect at Parkview Field.”
After the team spent a week on the road, the TinCaps return to Parkview Field tonight for a six-game series through Sunday against the Lansing Lugnuts (Oakland A’s affiliate). Limited tickets are available. Ticket and schedule information can be found at TinCaps.com.
