Fans who are not fully vaccinated are asked to wear masks in the outdoor stands at Cardinals’ baseball games.

The Cards have a home game at 7:15 p.m. Friday night, then host the Twins at 6:15 p.m. Saturday and 1:15 p.m. Sunday.

The Cards’ announcement coincides with the recent mask requirement announcement by St. Louis City and County inside public places and on public transit.

Some restaurants and businesses in St. Louis County/City are mandating that guests show proof of COVID-19 vaccination prior to entry. Some, however, are offering outside dining for those who aren’t vaccinated.
