The Royals return home on Monday, May 3 for a seven-game homestand against the Indians and White Sox. They return on May 18 for a quick five-game homestand against the Brewers, where former Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain could return, and the Detroit Tigers.

The Royals initially began this season with just 30 percent capacity and have averaged 7,348 fans over 13 home dates. Capacity will be determined on a month-by-month basis in consultation with local public health officials. Today, the CDC announced new guidance that allows vaccinated individuals to unmask outside in small gatherings, but not in large crowds. There is no vaccination requirement to attend a Royals game, although the team does ask that anyone experiencing symptoms stay home.
