Mariners Drop Mask Requirement For Fully-Vaccinated Fans

SEATTLE — Mariners fans who show proof they are fully vaccinated will now be clear to explore T-Mobile Park without a face covering, the team announced Monday. In a statement, the Mariners said the change aligned its ballpark protocols with recent guidance from Washington health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Fans who provide documentation showing that they are at least two weeks beyond their second dose of Pfizer or Moderna, or single dose of Johnson & Johnson, will be given a special wristband allowing them to ditch the mask throughout the ballpark. The team said maskless fans without a wristband may be asked for proof of vaccination, or to put on a face covering.

Sufficient proof of vaccination includes:

• Vaccination card which includes the name of the person, type of vaccine and date of last dose.
• Photo of a vaccination card as a separate document or on a mobile device.
• Documentation of vaccination from a health care provider’s electronic health record or state Immunization Information System record.

Through at least early June, the Mariners are offering special fully-vaccinated seating sections, and nine suites, with ticket specials as low as $10. The sections are open to full capacity and do not require physical distancing between groups.

During "Vaccine Appreciation Week," which runs through May 19, fully vaccinated fans will also see a few other perks, including:

• Dedicated vaccine-only entry lanes at Right Field and Center Field Gates.
• Exclusive access to the T-Mobile ‘Pen, which had been closed to all fans due to social distancing requirements, and the Trident Deck on the View Level.
• 20% off food and beverage purchases and regular-priced merchandise at the Mariners Team Store (excludes autographed and game-used items).
• Exclusive Mariners #SeaUsRise t-shirt.
• Random drawings for prizes, including T-Mobile 5G devices with one year of T-Mobile service, Alaska Airlines roundtrip travel for two, Xbox video game consoles, Costco gift cards, and $500 Nordstrom gift cards.

For fans who still need their first shot, the Mariners' vaccination program offers free doses during every game at three locations inside T-Mobile Park. Visitors have the choice between Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson.
