Indianapolis Indians 2021 COVID-19 Protocols
Now to address the elephant in the room.
With the Indianapolis Indians home opener set for Tuesday, May 11 against the Toledo Mud Hens at Victory Field, the organization announced numerous health and safety game day protocols in advance of the six-game series that runs through Sunday, May 16. The protocols align with previously set and approved guidelines by the Marion County Public Health Department (MCPHD), Major League Baseball (MLB), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
“We are excited to welcome both Indians baseball and our great fans back to Victory Field,” said Randy Lewandowski, Indianapolis Indians President, and General Manager. “As we open our gates to kick off Victory Field’s 25th anniversary season, the safety of our fans, players, and staff remains top priority. While we recognize new capacity percentages for outdoor events were adjusted yesterday, our existing plan of 25% capacity for May home dates remains in effect. We look forward to increasing capacities later this summer while continuing to follow protocols and guidelines from the Marion County Public Health Department, Major League Baseball, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
Safety protocols for game days at Victory Field are detailed here and below:
- Per the current MCPHD order, face coverings will be required for all fans over the age of 2 years old. Fans may only remove masks when actively eating or drinking in their ticketed seat location. Neck gaiters, bandanas, and vented masks will not be accepted upon entry.
- Seating options will primarily be sold in pods of 2, 4, or 6 seats in the seating bowl to ensure social distancing.
- Lawn seating is also available at $12 per ticket in seating pod arrangements in both left and right fields. Lawn pods can hold up to six (6) people. If a group has more than six in its party, they are able to buy pods close to each other to make it work for their group.
- The Indians will operate at 25% capacity (approximately 3,450 fans) through the end of May.
- The Indians have transitioned to a digital ticketing system to provide a safe, convenient and secure way for fans to use and share game tickets. Digital ticketing provides a contactless entry solution for all fans coming to Victory Field.
- All concession stands will be cashless with food and condiments distributed in closed or prepackaged containers. Concession menus will also be simplified.
- Walkways and concourses will have signage to direct guests to ensure proper social distancing, including one-way pedestrian traffic. Restrooms with multiple entrances and gift shops will be assigned a one-way entrance and exit.
- Victory Field has implemented the use of industrial-grade, mobile sanitization units that will be used to disinfect surfaces throughout the stadium prior to, during, and after the game. Hand sanitizing stations for fans and staff have been added to high-traffic areas.

Robert Wickens Returns to the Track with Bryan Herta Autosport
LEXINGTON, Ohio – Inspired by the goal to race again and powered by courage, determination, persistence, and perseverance, Robert Wickens returned to the cockpit in a Hyundai Veloster N TCR car on May 4, 2021, for the first time since his horrific IndyCar accident in 2018. Highlighted with triumphant breakthroughs and executed with laser, goal-oriented focus, Wickens completed 989 days of grueling rehabilitation anticipating today’s milestone.
A native of Canada, Robert Wickens, stellar IndyCar debut season featured a pole position, and four podium finishes in addition to the Indy 500 Rookie of the Year title. Having transitioned back to North America from Europe where he was a Formula One test and reserve driver, Wickens’ IndyCar career looked set for championship contention. It was cut short with the horrific accident at Pocono Raceway on August 19, 2018. As a result of the accident, Wickens suffered a thoracic spinal fracture, spinal cord injury, neck fracture, tibia and fibula fractures to both legs, fractures in both hands, a fractured right forearm, fractured elbow, a concussion, four fractured ribs, and a pulmonary contusion in the incident.
Through his relentless regimen of rehabilitation and therapy, Wickens has become a trailblazer in developing new technology and treatment methods for the spinal cord injury community.

Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru Hits Indianapolis April 30-May 9, 2021
More than 70 photorealistic dinosaurs are ready to return from extinction to delight families and dino fans everywhere, as Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru, the nation’s largest and most
realistic dinosaur experience will be at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and Event Center April 30-May 9, 2021.
After welcoming millions of guests to sold-out events across the country, Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru will transform South Lots of the Indiana State Fairgrounds and Event Center into a fun-filled drive-thru experience complete with baby dino and trainer meet and greets, photo opportunities, a choose-your-own-audio-adventure tour, and memories of epic proportions.
Jurassic Quest’s herd of animatronic dinos – from the largest predators to playful baby dinos – are displayed in realistic scenes that allow guests to experience them roaring and moving as they drive through the tour.
Jurassic Quest worked in collaboration with leading paleontologists to ensure each dinosaur was painstakingly replicated in every detail, from coloration to teeth size(!) to textured skin, fur or feathers, drawing on the latest research about how we understand dinosaurs and ancient giants of the sea looked and moved. Although the drive-thru experience means visitors will stay safe inside their vehicles, they’ll still need to avoid the swinging tail of the 50-foot Spinosaurus and the gigantic grinning Megalodon!
Tickets for Jurassic Quest are just $49 per vehicle (8 people or less) and available only at www.jurassicquest.com. An audio tour comes standard with every purchase (choose from two; special accommodations can be made for the hearing impaired) as well as a safari-style digital souvenir photo of your vehicle and family transported back in time via a Jurassic setting. Special souvenir packages and other add-ons can be purchased at check out.
Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru guests now get to choose their own audio adventure! Jurassic Quest’s own Safari Sarah, Dino Dustin, Captain Caleb, Prehistoric Nick, and Park Ranger Marty provide a fun-filled soundtrack for the hour-long trip back in time to help visitors navigate the dino herd and learn little-known dino facts – packed with plenty of lighthearted humor to tickle funnybones of every age (“get ready to Tricera-STOP here…”)! Visitors can opt for the original audio tour in English and Spanish or a brand-new audio adventure led by Safari Sarah with the rest of the crew serving up A BIG surprise for everyone at the end!
In addition to the life-like dinosaur exhibits, there will be opportunities to visit with one-of-a-kind baby dinosaurs and the Jurassic Quest team of dino trainers. Though no two visits are ever the same, all attendees will leave with the same bragging rights, “We Survived Jurassic Quest 2021!”
More than 2 million people have attended the Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru since the national tour launched in June with stops in New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Detroit, Atlanta, Orlando, Cincinnati, Houston, and more.
Designed to be thrilling but not scary for our littlest adventurers, big or small, young or old, Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru guests have a dino-mite time!
