The Cedar Rapids Kernels, tenant of Veterans Memorial Stadium, and class High-A Affiliate of the Minnesota Twins have created the following guide for safely opening and operating Veterans Memorial Stadium in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The health and safety of Kernels fans, players, coaches, our staff, and the community we call home is our top priority. The Kernels continue to follow guidelines and restrictions set forth by Major League Baseball as well as local, state, and national agencies. With those in mind, we have created the following strategy that we will update as guidelines are adjusted by our government officials and Major League Baseball. Guidelines may become more relaxed or more restricted based on future social distancing guidance.
This season, we will be extending staff training to include instruction that exceeds the standards set by Public Health and make sure our standards are clear and met every single day. These changes will range from increased cleaning and sanitizing frequency, to providing hand sanitizer at or near each concession stand and bathroom.
The Kernels Front Offices will be closed to the public until further notice.
All tickets purchased in 2021 will be socially-distanced. As fans purchase tickets online and through the box office, the Kernels ticketing system will automatically implement a socially-distanced bubble around your tickets. To ensure the proper distance between groups of fans, the Kernels request that all fans sit in their assigned/purchased seats throughout the game.
Masks are required whenever fans are not actively eating or drinking in their seats, and should be worn at all times when fans are using the restroom and purchasing tickets, concessions, and souvenirs.
Opening Night for the 2021 Season is on May 4th at 6:35 pm versus the Peoria Chiefs!
Individual tickets are not available for purchase at this time. However, season tickets, ticket packages, and 10 game coupon books are available now! Click on the buttons below to learn more and purchase yours.
