I will get my 2nd moderna on 4/22, never been to a baseball

[Beachnutt]

game and live just a cpl miles from the Texas Rangers new Globe life park, how long should I wait after my 2nd shot to go to my first baseball game ?
May just buy season tickets...

1. Two weeks minimum

[HUAJIAO]

2. My understanding is that the Rangers are opening the stadium 100%.

I wouldn't go there t all if I were you...

[Beachnutt]

3. I thought about that and understand your point but I do want to

support major league baseball for their stance and decision on voting rights.
Pulling the All star games out of Georgia and the draft.

[HUAJIAO]

6. I understand your wish to support MLB.

But just to play devil's advocate- is the price of an $80(? whatever) ticket going to help the Rangers more than the slim chance of you getting and/or passing on COVID 19?

And the Rangers would be the last team I would want to support considering their insane stance on opening up the entire ball park. I would think that would deserve more of a stay home protest.


Just making Saturday AM discussion.

My 'beloved' Batavia Muckdogs were finally cancelled by MLB(greedy bastards) so that settles that for me.. Now the only place I have nearby is Rochester Redwings...

10. If we don't trust the vaccine to put us in an acceptable range of risk (like complications...

... from the flu.... (See post about .01% out of 1.5 Million getting breakthrough cases), then what does our future hold? The vaccine works!! Get season tickets!!!!

11. I agree. No point getting the vaccine...

If you're not going to get out some.

[HUAJIAO]

12. I can't argue with your reasoning.

Everybody has their own level of 'acceptable risk.'

Enjoy the game(s).

13. Nobody has said that once you get a vaccine, you can stop masking or social distancing.

Going to a stadium filled to capacity isn't going to allow for social distancing.

[LAS14]

14. They don't say it because there's no way to enforce masks and social distancing on...

... just SOME people in a society. Note that they don't say "keep up masks and social distancing so you don't get sick and die." I wear my mask and keep socially distanced in publice places to be a good citizen.

9. Purchase a jersey from the MLB

site could be an option.

4. CDC guidelines for sporting events:

5. I've heard some pro events are going..

to require proof of vaccination....which i think they'll all go to

eventually....

Good luck on the shots...

[Beachnutt]

7. I think I will wait for that or just wait until next season but

I definitely want to support mlb for their stance on voting rights.

15. New York sports team already are doing that

or one must present negative test result.

Still must mask and people are spread out. They are also only allowing 10k fans at Yankee Stadium.

College sports in NYS must adhere to the same rules now.

8. It takes two weeks after the second dose to reach full immunity.

But if they are not going to follow social distancing guidelines, I wouldn't go if I were you. Vaccines are not 100 % effective, and there will be a bunch of un-vaccinated people there.

16. And plan to lay low a couple days after the second shot just in case...

I had no noticeable reaction after first shot other than sore arm. I had my second one Thursday and by early Friday morning had chills, aches, light shooting pains and a heavy head. I’ve taken Tylenol round the clock since and making improvements today but not back to normal. So just in case, don’t make any plans for right after the shot.

As mentioned above takes 10-14 days to become fully effective.

Love baseball season, go Diamondbacks!
