New York will allow sports and performing arts venues that seat more than 2,500 people outdoors to open at limited capacity starting on April 1, just in time for the Yankees’ first home game of the season, Gov. The state will also allow indoor venues that seat more than 1,500 people to open at 10 percent capacity. On Monday, the state will allow indoor fitness classes to resume statewide, including in New York City, where local officials have raised objections.
