I guarantee there's going to be some really funny cutouts throughout the season. I'm looking forward to it. Huge potential.

Watching empty-stadium silent baseball is pretty annoying (even thought it is, at least, baseball). In normal circumstances I'd be pretty opposed to piped-in crowd noise, but I think it would actually be an improvement during this season. Hire some person who's pretty sharp, give him/her some sensitive controls, and pipe in crowd noise, crescendos when something good happens, sustained applause for Phillies' scores, etc. Some video-game whiz could make it sound like a real game...

I'd like to be able to log into a speaker placed in the seats. Maybe even a camera view from the seats. We are just talking an old cell phone and connected speaker. I'd pay something for that goofiness.

hmmm, maybe you're on to something. we could have a big zoom session where they pipe the audio into the stadium PA...pick a couple hundred fans per game.

I wonder if there is a way to create an audio version of Zoom where 30 thousand fans can contribute to stadium loudspeakers.

That might be your million dollar idea. You might even be able to charge fans, including charging more to be pumped from speakers close to the field. 1000 fans could get piped through each set of speakers. Set up 40 or 50 sets of speakers that can handle 1000 fans each and you're in business. You would just need to make the software. It would probably just mean tweaking existing stuff. We would just need a clever name for the BSG software company.

Someone get on that.

I will pay $100 to support the development of the software and pitching the idea to MLB. Surely we have programmers that can handle this here.
