Baseball To Play 1st Ever Regular Season Game In "Virtual Ballpark"

I'm trying to figure to exactly what this will look like, but the Sept. 20th game between the Angels and the Rays will take place in the world's first "virtual ballpark."

You'll need an MLB profile to see it, but otherwise, it appears it will be free from anywhere in the world and can be watched online using your browser. The "park" allows you to view the action from a host of angles and different points of view not possible in the real world.  

But the real world isn't far away.

"...participants who prefer a traditional view can watch the game’s television broadcast on the virtual park’s giant Jumbotrons floating around the field and parking lot.

"There should be plenty to keep you occupied if the on-field play gets dull: The stadium supports spatial audio, and you can talk with nearby fans, play trivia games and take part in a scavenger hunt to win NFT collectible “cards.”
