Health officials in Florida said that the Super Bowl did not turn into the super spreader event that some feared. Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious disease expert, said he believed baseball games could be “pretty safe” since most are played in open-air stadiums. Texas, which finished last in the American League West last season, is 1-3 to start the 2021 season. “Was hoping we’d see how loud our stadium got if we gave them something to cheer about,” Woodward said. “Unfortunately we didn’t do that.”Despite the lack of restrictions in Texas, the Rangers plan to reduce the capacity for Globe Life Field for future games to allow for social distancing.
