Variety

Thousands of virtual fans will attend Fox's MLB game this Saturday, Fox Sports revealed in a video. Fox says it will virtually fill the seats of Wrigley Field, Dodger Stadium, Nationals Park, Petco Park and other ballparks that it broadcasts games over the next several weeks. “We had a vision for making our Major League Baseball broadcasts look as natural as they were before COVID,” says Brad Zager, executive producer and executive vice president and head of production and operations for Fox Sports. “A lot of that is having a crowd in the stadium.”
