Major League Baseball will play crowd noise from its official video game, MLB The Show, through ballpark sound systems during games.
"There was some reticence when you first talk about crowd noise in an empty ballpark because you don't want to do something that is distracting," said Chris Marinak, who is MLB's executive vice president for strategy, technology, and innovation."It is heard in a way that is natural with the play of the game and on field. The sounds do match what is happening."
Baseball is hoping the crowd noises, along with stadium announcers, walk-up music and in-stadium video, will replicate the in-game experience as closely as possible without real fans in the stadium. Some ballparks are also offering fans the chance to buy photo cutouts that will be placed in the stands.said Thursday that the crowd noise did help step up the competition for some guys during intrasquad games.
The sounds will also be audible on radio and television. The Korean baseball league pipes in crowd noise at stadiums so they are not completely silent, but it is barely audible during games aired on ESPN. ESPN announcer Matt Vasgersian is hopeful there still might be some sort of audio sweet spot to provide a little bit of everything.
