It appears that Fenway Park is ready for the 2020 Major League Baseball season to begin, and now they're experimenting with various in-game features.
On Friday, Fenway Park was experimenting with pumped-in crowd noise, and it's very similar to what Germany's Bundesliga and the English Premier League have done to fill the stadium with noise while no spectators are allowed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The MLB season is set to begin on July 23 after a long layoff due to difficult negotiations and the coronavirus pandemic.
