Fans flock to stadium as Blue Jays return home. MORE:
The crowd that lined up outside the stadium was abuzz with excitement, with many saying the Jays' return -- and the ability to watch them in person -- felt like a step towards normalcy in the midst the COVID-19 pandemic, even though many wore masks.
Jessica Smith said she and her friends were"super excited" to see the Jays play on home turf, where they were hosting the Kansas City Royals on Friday.Joanne Aprile said her family has been going to Jays games for about a decade, noting her 10-year-old son, John, went to his first game when he was two and has become an ardent fan. It was important for him to be there for the team's return, she added.
The Jays were allowed to come back to Toronto after the federal government granted them a national interest travel exemption.
