MLB opens virtual stadium to watch matches in /

Major League Baseball has revealed a virtual stadium that’ll open its doors on July 8, 2023. This space will allow users to get a stadium experience for free and without the hassle of traveling or long queues.

The first major event people can watch from inside the digital stadium is the MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game, which will be broadcast on the structure’s video board. Exclusive interviews with some of the prominent players will be available only from there.

You can access the MLB Virtual Ballpark from the league’s official website, where you’ll need to make an account. You’ll get to customize your avatar with a variety of team merchandise, take part in minigames, and interact with other attendees. Among the prizes up for grabs in these activities are some Sorare MLB cards.

Every attendee can enter into a draw for tickets to the 2023 World Series as well, so this digital event may be your stepping stone towards a very memorable real-life experience.

It’s recommended that you join the space from a PC or laptop for the best possible experience, but access from mobile devices is possible as well using Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android. Headphones or earbuds are recommended as well to get the best sound.
