The Cardinals are committed to the health and safety of our fans and employees. We have worked with Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Springfield-Greene County Health Department (S-GCHD) to enhance our health and safety measures for the 2021 season. These protocols were developed in conjunction with MLB, S-GCHD and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for the protection of everyone enjoying Hammons Field. Please review the health and safety measures prior to visiting the ballpark.

As of June 1, 2021, masks are no longer required at Hammons Field--this includes both outdoor and indoor sections of the stadium.

  • Per CDC recommendation, fans that are not yet fully vaccinated are encouraged to wear masks at all times inside the stadium, including the seating bowl, unless actively eating or drinking.

Our organization’s health-and-safety protocols have, and will continue to, follow guidance from the CDC, the City of Springfield, the Springfield-Greene County Health Department, and Major League Baseball. Please note that with so many entities sharing Hammons Field, that even if one regulation is lifted, others may still be in effect (example: If MLB lifts an ordinance but Greene County does not, we will still follow Greene County).

Numerous hand sanitizer stations have been added throughout the ballpark. Fans and staff are encouraged to sanitize and wash their hands frequently.

As of June 1, 2021, Hammons Field will resume 100% full capacity. While at the ballpark, please continue to pay attention to all posted signage regarding capacity, directional flow, and viewing guidelines. The Cardinals will comply fully with Major League Baseball’s rules for fan spacing and all other city and county social distancing protocols.

Entry Guidelines

Upon arrival, please be aware of posted signage and markers that have been displayed to help educate and prepare fans as they prepare to enter the ballpark. All security lanes will be properly distanced with floor markings. At entry gates, stadium staff will share policies and request verbal acknowledgement prior to ballpark entry. Ballpark gates will open for fans one hour before first pitch.

Signage and Guidelines

Safety signage, including visual and verbal reminders of physical distancing, directional flow, and viewing guidelines, must be adhered to while visiting the ballpark. Failure to comply with posted or verbal guidelines may result in ejection from Hammons Field.

Hammons Field will be a cash-free ballpark in 2021 in order to greatly reduce shared touchpoints and help keep our fans and staff safe. Fans can use credit cards and debit cards and Springfield Cardinals Gift Cards anywhere in the stadium.

Ticketing Admissions

All tickets will be delivered digitally and are yet another way to reduce touchpoints and increase fan safety. Digital ticketing has become quite common among sporting venues, concert venues and some airlines. This will also increase the speed of most transactions, as fewer fans will need to wait in the Will Call line before games or wait for tickets to arrive in the mail. With limited ticket availability, digital ticketing will allow you to send your tickets to others easily and quickly. If you do not have access to a smart phone, please reach out to us to make arrangements.

The stadium box office will be open on game days for customer service inquiries only. On-site Will Call will not be available. For full ticketing information, click here.
