OT: MLB and other sports putting cardboard cutouts of fans in stands

They got the idea of putting inanimate objects in the stands from watching some of the long time NU season ticket holders over the years
I watched some of the Whitesox game lastnight. More cardboard fans in the stands than I have ever seen at a game of theirs.

I like the cutouts. The Cubs game didn't have them and it felt off seeing all the empty seats.

Today, Foxsports was using virtual fans. It's interesting.

 
I listened on the car radio the Mariners playing in Texas, It was exactly like any other game with the same crowd noise.

When the Wildcats begin their audience free season in the coming month(s) I may opt for the WGN broadcast which will likely be as masterfully presented.
