The Texas Rangers made headlines when it was announced that they would be the only team in the MLB to allow fans back into the stadium at full capacity.
Today is the team’s home opener, and as you could imagine, the stadium is packed to the brim.
So this is what a packed ballpark feels like?! Almost forgot. What a sight! pic.twitter.com/L4nz2lc7fi

People on Twitter were fed up with the sight of so many people packed together while the COVID-19 pandemic is still going on.

The MLB has left it up to individual teams and local governments to decide if and how many fans they’ll be allowing into their ballparks. Every other team has a set limit on the number of fans who are allowed to attend the games, but things are different in Texas.
Hopefully we can get this vaccine moving, because it looks like Texas has already decided that the pandemic is over.
