The new sports normal

What's this I see? I'm having to strain my eyes to make sure.

Noise? Hand clapping? Live, not canned, cheers?

Actual people, not cardboard cutouts, sitting in a baseball stadium during a baseball game? 

Yes, it's Korean baseball and the stands are only about twenty percent capacity. But the point is that 2020 has gotten so weird that it seems odd to watch a sports event with real folks in attendance. It honestly took me several minutes of watching this morning's game to realize, hey, people! 

I still feel a bit like, what's up with that?
