Other protocol updates include:

-Masking is still required for fans ages 12 and up in all Indoor Areas of Hammons Field, including the Team Store, all restrooms, indoor portions of suites, and the inside portion of the SpringNet Champions Club.
-Fans that are not yet fully vaccinated are encouraged to wear masks inside the stadium unless actively eating or drinking.
- After hearing feedback from fans, we will be altering our bag policy. While we still recommend no bags outside of medical devices or diaper bags, fans are allowed bring a 9” x 5” clutch and we are amending this policy to also include clear bags. We have a small number available for purchase in the Team Store, but are placing an order for more. Fans are also welcome to purchase from an outside retailer of their choice.

The Springfield Cardinals are thankful for the work done by the City of Springfield, the Mayor’s Office, the Springfield City Council and the Springfield-Greene County Health Department for their guidance in helping us open up safely to all fans and guests at Hammons Field for the opening weeks of the 2021 season during the pandemic. During our opening homestand, we partnered with Mercy Hospital Springfield and the Springfield-Greene County Health Department to host a vaccine clinic at Hammons Field, and we will continue to work with the city to encourage more people to get vaccinated.
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.
