What are teams charging for cardboard cutouts? And should the Cubs do it?

When baseball began in Taiwan’s CPBL this spring, several of the ballparks put cardboard cutouts of fans in the stands to give the illusion that at least some of the stadium was filled, as shown above.

MLB games are scheduled to begin in one week. Ten of the 30 MLB teams have decided to do the same thing. Here’s a list of the teams and prices:

National League

Dodgers: $149 for field level/loge seats. $299 for Pavilion Home run seats (outfield)/ Dugout club (behind the plate)

Giants: $99

Mets: $86 through the team; $69 through the 7 Line Army

Brewers: $50

American League

Astros: $100

Athletics: $49 for A’s Access members; $89 for general fans; $149 for the ALS CURE project foul ball zone (If cutout “catches” a foul ball in the ALS CURE zone, that fan will receive an autographed photo from Stephen Piscotty.
