Just unbelievable, lookie what LA is turning into PAPERS PLEASE:

Good morning, L.A. It’s May 21.

L.A. is starting to get a taste of the new normal, and sporting events are no exception.

As COVID-19 cases in the county remain low and the city slowly reopens, stadiums are welcoming back fans. Some aspects of seeing your favorite team play will remain the same — the rules of the games haven’t changed, after all — but stadium visits will be different.

For the most part, the new rules at L.A. venues — including Dodger Stadium, the Staples Center, and Banc of California Stadium — are similar. All three are offering fully vaccinated sections, in which social distancing won’t need to be practiced by fans.

Proof of vaccination, along with a photo ID, will be required to enter for ticket-holders headed to the fully vaccinated areas, and for everyone else, proof of vaccination or of a recent negative COVID-19 test will be necessary for entry.

All three venues are cash-free, for everything from parking to concessions.

And, as in the rest of L.A. County and California, masks are still required, even in the vaccinated areas.

But some regulations vary from stadium to stadium. The Staples Center and Banc of California Stadium are both allowing bags no larger than small clutches to be brought in, with the exception of medical or parental bags. Banc of California is requiring that fully vaccinated fans enter through different gates than the rest of the crowd.

One thing that remains the same? Bring your passion for the game — and your pent-up desire to celebrate. (Fingers crossed!)

Keep reading for more on what’s happening in L.A., and have fun out there.
