Reds President and COO Phil Castellini announced Wednesday that capacity will increase from 30 to 40 percent beginning April 30.

"We are going to be choiceful as we add seats, keeping safety of fans as our top priority," said Castellini. "We believe this is the right approach as we mirror what is happening throughout the state."
