Buffer Zone Seating, Face Covering Requirement Lifted at Trustmark Park

PEARL, MS – After the announcement by Major League Baseball of new guidelines for the 2021 season, the Mississippi Braves have announced that seating in the buffer zone at Trustmark Park will be available during the homestand that begins tonight against Chattanooga.

As part of Major League Baseball’s health and safety protocols, the first row of seats around the field and two rows of seats around the dugout were marked as a buffer zone at ballparks around the country. Those seats will now be open at Trustmark Park.

In addition, Major League Baseball has lifted the requirement for face coverings at Minor League ballparks, deferring to local and state guidelines. While we recommend the wearing of face coverings, it will no longer be required for games at Trustmark Park.

The M-Braves will continue the clear bag policy at the gates. Clear bags must be 12" x 12" x 6" or smaller. Non-transparent bags can be no larger than 4.5" x 6.5," even if you are placing it inside your larger clear bag. Please Note: Non-transparent bags are still subject to inspection by security personnel at the gates. Medical bags and diaper bags are permitted.

All styles of clear bags are acceptable as long as they are 12" x 12" x 6" or smaller. This includes clear cinch sacks, clear diaper bags, gallon ziploc bags, etc. Guests will not be allowed to empty and collapse a non-approved bag into a clear bag.

The clear bag policy is in effect for all M-Braves games and any other sporting event at Trustmark Park. For more information on our COVID-19 and Stadium Guidelines, click HERE.
