The Dodgers have started installing two-dimensional "fans" in the seats to bring a little "life" to the game 
They're weatherproof cutouts of the actual season ticket holders who would normally be seen there. Mary Hart is in her usual spot, as well as the guy with the panama hat and radar gun. Anyone can pay a fee to have a facsimile of themselves installed in a seat too. I think they've sold over 4K of 'em already.

Go Cubs go! I'm ok with it. The Chicago White Sox have similar cut outs in the stands as well. Some are family members of the players. Not sure how long this lasts especially if positive cases start happening. Some players have mic'ed up. In second game of the Cubs/Brewers game. there was allot of trash talk between teams - it kinda got heated.
