The modifications follow updates to COVID-19 guidelines published by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and Major League Baseball. The updates to the protocols are as follows:

- Fans are encouraged to leave bags and purses at home to provide contactless service at Dow Diamond entry gates. Fans desiring to bring a bag or purse into Dow Diamond will have their bag subjected to a security search before entering the ballpark.

- Accessible parking will be available for offline, drive-up purchases on the day of Loons games on a first-come, first-serve basis, while parking spots are available. Fans are still highly encouraged to pre-purchase their parking before traveling to Dow Diamond on the Clutch! App.

- Starting with the May 18th game against Lake County, general admission standing-room-only tickets will be available for purchase for $10 in quantities as few as one ticket. Fans with this ticket type are asked to maintain social distancing while inside Dow Diamond. Tickets can be purchased at Loons.com, by calling 989-837-BALL, or visiting the Dow Diamond box office.

- Private seating venues are now available for reservation for games throughout the 2021 season at 2019 seating capacities.

"This is an important next step for our organization as we strive to deliver the game day experience that our fans have grown to love over the last fifteen years", stated Chris Mundhenk, President, and General Manager. "Fan safety is our top priority at Dow Diamond and our COVID-19 protocols will continue to evolve as updates are made by MDHHS and MLB to ensure we are providing the best fan experience possible. We encourage fans to get their COVID-19 vaccine, if they haven't done so already, so we can continue down the "Michigan Vacc to Normal" plan that will permit larger crowds as our state reaches critical vaccination milestones."
