For the first time since the Los Angeles Dodgers began playing intrasquad games during Summer Camp at Dodger Stadium, they tested out what piped-in crowd noise sounded like on Wednesday night.
With fans not expected to be permitted for at least the early portion of the 2020 season, the Dodgers and other teams will feature the fake crowd noise as well as cardboard cutouts of fans in the stands to make it feel like a normal game environment.
“I tend to be pretty loud, so I like the fact that everybody can hear me when I talk on the field,” Kiké Hernandez said before Wednesday’s game, which is team won.
