Updated sport venues guidance and capacity limits."Governor Larry Hogan and Maryland Secretary of Health Robert Neall today issued orders updating safe capacity limits for outdoor sporting and entertainment venues, while maintaining face covering requirements and strict public health protocols.

'With our key health metrics low and stable, we are taking steps to allow more spectators, including fans of the Baltimore Ravens and the Washington Football Team, to safely attend games in the stands,' said Governor Hogan. 'It remains important to continue following all of the mitigation measures and public health protocols that keep us safe, including wearing masks and practicing physical distancing.'

The governor’s order limits spectators at outdoor sporting venues to 10% of total capacity, including at M&T Bank Stadium and FedEx Field.

The governor’s order limits occupancy to 10% for outdoor entertainment venues that have a total capacity greater than 2,500.

The governor’s order requires face coverings at all outdoor sporting and entertainment venues. Under the health secretary’s order, venues must follow social distancing protocols, and social gatherings at the venue—such as tailgating—are prohibited."

As a result of our early and aggressive actions and the vigilance of Marylanders, our state continues to perform better on our health and economic recovery than much of the nation. Though our key metrics remain low and stable, we are closely monitoring the fall coronavirus surge in states across the country. We must remember that this virus does not recognize borders—each and every one of us needs to do our part to keep Maryland on the road to recovery. Continue to wash your hands frequently, wear a mask in public places, and avoid crowds.
