Should be interesting to see how the Sox adjust once Texas and I'd imagine Miami and maybe Houston have no issues with more capacity. I think I heard Missouri will have more capacity as well but not quite 100%. Hopefully the government adjusts quickly but I am not holding my breath.

People need to stop spreading this horseshit. It's infuriating, and it's wrong. On top of that, you're discouraging people from getting the vaccine, which we badly need people to do to reach herd immunity. 

Evidence is mounting that covid-19 vaccines will significantly hinder the spread of covid. Do some research on it.

Not discouraging a thing. It stops people from getting sick. That’s how it works. They’ve been working on mRNA vaccines for thirty years now, it’s not a huge mystery.

Certainly seems to be a mystery to you, given that you were spreading false information in this very thread.

My point, which you seem to have missed, is that if we are telling people they can still spread the vaccine and can't go back to normal after being vaccinated, less people are going to be lining up for the vaccine. That's just human nature. 

Here's a couple links that might explain it better:

Rockies are starting at 50%, and I think the Cardinals are starting at 35%.  I did read that Texas plans on 100% for opening day then reduced capacity afterwards.  Why, I don’t know.

Hopefully all parks allowing higher capacity have no issues and other teams follow.

I’m not spreading shit buddy and the opinion pieces you posted there in no way contradict what I said

Wonder if you're going to have the possibility of teams refusing to play in places like Dallas (especially indoors), Houston, The Trop, etc.?

What's the acceptable rate of community spread, positive cases, hospitalizations, etc., to where MLB would have to make a decision to go against the governors/owners for the sake of continuity of season and not having a potential repeat of all those situations like the Braves, Cardinals and especially the Marlins experienced in 2020?

Can players opt-out for individual games/series?  Well, that would seem to go against the CBA, right?

Uncharted waters here.

You said "vaccination doesn't prevent transmission."

That's almost certainly wrong. I don't really see what's hard to comprehend about this. That "opinion piece" cited actual data, by the way. If you have any data to support the notion that vaccination does not prevent transmission, let's see it.

You also said that the vaccines don't prevent infection, and that's already been pointed out to you as being wrong. So yeah, you're definitely spreading BS.
