The Dodgers and the Angels will go back to full fan capacity on June 15 — the same day California's economy fully reopens.
For games from June 15 through the remainder of the season, every one of the 56,000 seats at Dodger Stadium will go on sale on Thursday, May 27. For the 11 home games on the schedule between now and June 15, the team will continue with distanced pods and sections for fully-vaccinated fans only.

The Angels announced that Angel Stadium will start sales for its full 45,000-seat capacity next week, for games beginning on June 17. Single-game tickets for all remaining regular season home games will go on sale to the general public on Friday, May 28 at 9 a.m., the team said.

Both teams announced the return to full capacity shortly after state health officials outlined what to expect on June 15 — capacity limits on businesses will disappear, and so will physical distancing requirements for people attending public events.
The state is recommending — but not requiring — that outdoor venues with more than 10,000 attendees have people verify that they are fully vaccinated or provide a negative COVID-19 test.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair.
