How is Fox Sports adding fans to the 2020 MLB season?

Major League Baseball is returning, to empty stadiums, but Fox Sports is determined to make it look as much like it was before COVID-19, if any of us can even remember what that was anymore. In an announcement Thursday, the TV station revealed that its broadcasts of the MLB games would have virtual fans in the stands.

“No fans? Not on Fox Sports,” is the slogan of their catchy new video. While the famous Fox Sports theme song plays in the background, the video shows what the new virtual fans will look like, noting that they can be dressed in the different teams’ colors and can even do the wave.

The Internet, not to let us down, was quick to react. Quite a few people seem amused, if not a little creeped out by the virtual stadium-goers, with some saying that they couldn’t wait to see what would happen when the system glitched and put the fans in places they weren’t supposed to be.
