Fan cutouts provide virtual MLB audience. MORE:
Gabby Adamo loved the Chicago White Sox so much it influenced how she dressed and even how she drank her favourite beverages.
Eight months after she died at the age of 22, her parents are doing what they can to rectify that. With no spectators permitted at stadiums due to the coronavirus pandemic, the White Sox are among Major League Baseball teams giving fans the opportunity to fill some seats with their photographs on cutouts.
The Brewers sold out 500 cardboard cutouts in 90 minutes. They promptly put another 500 on sale. Now they’re also planning a “Pets in the Park” section for cutouts featuring photos of fans’ dogs or cats. “I’m planning on making it a game — who can find virtual ‘Pipes’ — and hopefully get some of my friends and their families to do so as well,” Piper said.
MLB parks generally won’t have as many cutouts in the stands as that German soccer club. How often the cutouts will appear depends on the team. The White Sox are only planning to use their cutouts for the first home series, though they’re considering the promotion for other games as well. They sold out their allotment of 1,500 cutouts for that opening series, with the $49 sales benefiting White Sox Charities.
