NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Music lovers and sports fans had plenty to cheer about over the weekend, as several venues returned to full capacity in New York City.
As CBS2’s Natalie Duddridge reported, all COVID restrictions will be lifted Monday at Citi Field. Fans will no longer have to wear masks, social distance, or provide proof of vaccination or a negative test.
The Yankees returned to full seating Friday night, taking on the Oakland Athletics in front of a full crowd.
“It feels great, it feels great,” Yankees fan Matthew Warbet told CBS2.

From one sign of New York’s comeback to another, Madison Square Garden hosted the Foo Fighters on Sunday night. Fans snaked around MSG for the first 100% capacity concert in the New York area since March 2020.
Unlike Citi Field and Yankee Stadium, though, all guests over the age of 16 had to show proof of vaccination before going through the door. Some protested outside the venue, saying the vaccine should not be required for events.
“Should we be forced to take a vaccine or lose our freedom?” said John Allenville, of upstate.

On Saturday, Radio City Music Hall saw its first full capacity event — the Tribeca Festival premiere of a new Dave Chappelle documentary — with a fully vaccinated audience. Saturday night also marked the closing night gala for the 20th festival, which was seen as a symbolic reawakening of the arts in New York.
There’s even more to look forward to, with Springsteen on Broadway set to resume performances on June 26.
