Mark Vader Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 I hope they don't fill the stands with cgi fans, like they have with baseball. That is incredibly lame. 1
Merle Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Seems like it would have to come with a fairly complicated set of rules about what sort of crowd reaction is appropriate under what circumstances, and at what volume, etc, and that would be a nightmare to "officiate". You always hear about visiting teams wanting to "quiet the crowd", but if the home team gets to control what the fake crowd noise sounds like, that would never happen. Also, I'm sure there would have to be a rule against "boo'ing" controversial penalties and other calls (and non-calls). 1
Rico Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Instead of fake noise, they should mic-up a whole bunch of fans watching the game at home. Amplify that sound through the stadium so the players can also hear it. 2

Mr. WEO Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Colts are donating their crowd noise tapes to the rest of the teams that also need them. 1

That's like saying you don't care who the color commentator is. Would you really not care if you had to listen to Joe Theisman rather than Tony Romo?

Just a terrible look.. Cut outs behind home plate, CGI when plays go to the outfield and clearly empty stands behind the picture when the camera focusses on him. It is what it is, just play the games and don't make a cartoon of it. 1

But, the train horn going off in an empty stadium, and watching the opposing team jump out of their cleats would provide the country with an epic moment of comedy. It would be healing. 1
Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Dumb. Just let in 20-30% of capacity and play the games. Who would choose what the fake fan reaction would be? If Bills punter shanks one twenty yards is it fake boos or a cheer because the other team didn't return the kick??

It would be AI bots programmed to mimic Bills fans. Might even see a virtual ***** during the Pats* game.

The absolute worst: baseball, where they'll use it to show the "home crowd" disagrees with a called ball or strike. Just idiotic. I want to hear the chatter that we normally can't hear. They must have it on delay with a dump button anyway since I haven't heard all the bad words they're apparently saying ... celebrate the difference of this weird ass season, don't try to mask it!
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 The geniuses who think we the fans just aren’t capable of consuming pro sports without fake adulation added to the mix, are missing the point that we all know it’s a once in a lifetime situation. The “fix” is worse than the reality they’re trying to literally paper over, which is the ultimate irony imho. The bigger question is how will this all impact even the need to try to obtain home field advantage throughout the playoffs (Other than the obvious of avoiding travel)? 1 1

Someone will and it will be just fine. It’s amazing for the NBA. Without it, the Nba game would be incredibly stale imo
