Fans may not be allowed to cheer on their favorite Major League Baseball team in person at their home park. But, as is the case for mostly anything, thereโs an app for that.
MLBโs app will allow fans to boo or cheer any team when their games are going on. Meaning, Red Sox fans will be able to boo the New York Yankees for all 60 games. Here is how it works, via Action Networkโs Darren Rovell. Fans choose a game and team to root for. Fans watch the game โliveโ and cheer, clap or boo virtually in the app to impact ballpark noise But hereโs where it gets pretty neat: โBallpark staff uses the โreal-timeโ fan sentiment to control/vary noise variation/levels at the ballpark.โ
Itโs the next best thing for fans wanting to still be able to cheer from afar. Plus, it certainly is a good idea for the players, who have been used to playing in front of tens of thousands of people.
