There will be fans in Plainsman Park this season but not nearly as many as Auburn is used to having for a Tigers baseball game.
On Thursday, the athletic department announced that attendance will be limited to just 20 percent at the park during the 2021 season.
Per the press release:
Seats will be arranged in pods of two and four with proper social distancing between each available seating group. Available and unavailable seats will be marked accordingly. Plainsman Patio and Tiger Terrace will be unavailable to begin the season. In addition, alternative viewing spaces outside the park, including the stadium parking deck, will not be available for the 2021 season.
Ticket information will be sent directly to 2020 baseball season ticket holders, who will have first priority when purchasing tickets. Single-game tickets may become available to the general public at a later date based on remaining inventory. All tickets for the 2021 season will be delivered digitally. Auburn Athletics’ priority is to maximize opportunities to attend games to as many fans as possible over the course of the season while maintaining a safe environment for our student-athletes, fans and staff.
Student seating will be available in sections 109-111 as well as sections 52-73. Student tickets will be general admission and distributed on a first come, first served basis. A valid Auburn Ignited Card is required. Additional information will be sent directly to current Auburn students leading up to the home opener on February 19 vs. Presbyterian.
Face coverings (over the nose and mouth) will be required for all spectators and gameday workers upon entry and while inside Plainsman Park. Guests may remove face coverings while actively eating or drinking.
Directional signage, stanchions and barriers will be installed to facilitate six-foot social distancing at entry gates, concourse pathways, concessions and merchandise queues and seating areas. Physical distancing will be maintained throughout the facility to the fullest extent possible.
All transactions for concessions and merchandise locations at Plainsman Park will be contactless and cashless (credit/debit and Tiger Cards only).
Enhanced cleaning and sanitization procedures throughout the park prior to and during all games will be in effect for the 2021 season.
Auburn begins the season in 15 days against Presbyterian.
