ST. PETERSBURG, FL — Full fan capacity for Rowdies' games at Al Lang Stadium will be allowed with certain restrictions starting June, the soccer club said on its website.

Face masks will be optional for attendees at the stadium who have been fully vaccinated. People who have not been vaccinated must continue to wear masks. Officials said a limited number of socially distant seating pods will still be available for the remaining home matches.

The new face mask policy starts June 11 when the Rowdies host Loudoun United FC. Some guidelines that were in place at the beginning of the season will remain the same, such as online ticket purchases with the exception of tickets bought at the box office. The stadium is cash free. Accepted forms of payment include credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
