(Cincinnati, Oh.) - The Cincinnati Reds will expand capacity at Great American Ball Park at the end of the month.

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."

The announcement comes following new public health orders regarding outdoor events from the Ohio Department of Health and Governor Mike DeWine.

Under the new guidance, 'mixed pods' consisting of multiple groups from separate parties is capped at 10 individuals spaced six feet from another 'mixed pod'.

Fans will continue to be required to wear a mask at all times in the ballpark unless they are actively eating or drinking in ticketed seats.
