The Texas Rangers could be the first team to return to full attendance capacity.

The team hopes to have a full house for its home opener next month after debuting a new 40,518-seat stadium without fans in the stands for its games last season. 

An order by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott took effect Wednesday allowing businesses to operate at 100% if they choose. 

Fans at Globe Life Field will still be required to wear masks, even though there is no longer a statewide mandate requiring them.

The Mariners are hoping to have fans at some point this season.  The M's are waiting on guidance from the State of Washington.
