Texas Rangers Exec Responds to Joe Biden’s Take on ‘Full Capacity’

The Texas Rangers announced that there won’t be any limits on the numbers of fans in attendance at Globe Life Field this season, although they did mandate that fans must wear face-coverings in the stands. Just not when drinking and eating. Which at a baseball game, that’s about all you do. President Biden clearly has concerns that packing people into the 40,000-capacity arena could lead to a severe uptick in coronavirus cases.

“I think it’s a mistake,” Biden told ESPN Wednesday. “They should listen to Dr. Fauci, the scientists and the experts. But, I think it’s not responsible.”

Rangers exec Jon Daniels insists that  fans in the stadium is a “one-time event” for the team.

“I think after Opening Day, reality is we’re not going to be at full capacity, I doubt it,” said Daniels, addressing Biden’s criticism Thursday, via TMZ.

“I’m hopeful that people are responsible and wear masks and we can enjoy a good time out. But after [Opening Day], I don’t see it being a regular occurrence.

“I do see it’s kind of a complex issue and I do see why the President would say what he said.”

How hard would it be to limit the fans for the first few months and see what happens…

Opening day is important, but not more important than people’s lives.
