After a long year, the Giants will welcome fans back to Oracle Park on Opening Day, April 9.

Under the public health order issued by the San Francisco Health Officer, the Giants can operate the ballpark at up to 22% capacity with special testing/vaccination requirements for entry to Oracle Park.

San Francisco Public Health order requires COVID-19 testing or full vaccinations, socially distanced seating pods in designated zones and face coverings.

Under the directive issued by the San Francisco Health Officer, Oracle Park will re-open to fans subject to the following conditions:

  • Each fan in attendance, 12 years and older, will be required to take a COVID-19 test with negative results or provide proof of a full COVID-19 vaccination, in order to gain entry. (Children under 12 are not required to provide negative test results or vaccination proof.) If testing, the Giants strongly encourage fans to take a PCR-type test rather than a rapid antigen test.
  • Test results need to be received within 72 hours of the first game that they plan to attend of a homestand. Fans can present their negative Covid tests two ways:
    • Fans 18 or older may utilize the CLEAR’s Health Pass to securely link and confirm negative COVID-19 test results for a seamless entry to the game. Health Pass is a free service on the CLEAR mobile app, which connects a person’s verified identity to COVID-19 related information to help reduce public health risk. The Giants strongly encourage fans to take advantage of CLEAR’s Health Pass before arriving at Oracle Park in order to help ensure a smooth entry.

    • Fans can bring an electronic or paper copy of their negative COVID-19 test results at the entrance gates.
  • Fully vaccinated fans should bring a paper or electronic copy of their completed vaccination card to the game. (Full vaccination is defined as completion of the two dose regimen of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or one dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine administered two weeks or more in advance of the game to be attended.)

The Giants and Dignity Health-GoHealth Urgent Care have teamed up to provide trusted, convenient access to COVID-19 molecular rapid (PCR) testing and results. Giants fans will have exclusive access to schedule a brief Virtual Visit where they will receive a confirmed testing appointment at a convenient location and time to ensure results are available for game day. Test results will be posted on a confidential Patient Portal in advance of the event for easy access and presentation at the ballpark.

Other Health & Safety Requirements include:

  • Fans must not attend games if they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, even if they have recently been tested or are fully vaccinated.
  • Fans will be seated in socially distanced pods in nine designated zones throughout the ballpark.
  • Designated zones assign Fans to specific entry and exit gates, concessions and restrooms located closest to their seating pods.
  • Fans must not gather before or after games. Large gatherings at or near Oracle Park remain prohibited.
  • All food and beverage will be ordered via mobile app only. Guests will be able to select pick-up at designated concession stands within their seating zone.
  • Face masks and social distancing will be strictly enforced.

Given the requirements for entry, fans should plan ahead, arrive early and come prepared with required documentation.

The health and safety requirements will remain in place at least through the first homestand. We expect restrictions to evolve and attendance capacity to expand this season if health conditions improve and as more people receive their COVID-19 vaccinations.

The Giants will sell game tickets on a monthly basis until more details become clear. Season ticket members have first priority to secure tickets to April games. Any remaining tickets to April games will go on sale to Visa cardholders on April 2 and to the public on April 5.
