Major League Baseball is scheduled to launch its 2020 regular season. Amid everything that has been going on with the novel coronavirus, all major league sports have been cancelled since the middle of March, but that is all about to end. Starting July 23, 2o2o, Major League Baseball will begin its season. Although they are scheduled to start, baseball may look a bit different this year.

After a nearly insufferable 5 months with little to no entertainment, people are ecstatic to tune in to watch live sports again beginning with the MLB on Thursday July 23. The MLB has announced that they will be scheduling a 60-game season without the fans. As more information comes out, many questions are arising about what this season will look like. The big question being whether or not the season will finish. Opening day was scheduled to take place on March 26, 2020 but was cancelled due to the beginning spread of Covid-19 in the United States. Although we have more cases now than we did back then, we have more information about the virus and how it spreads. The season will definitely start, but will it be completed? New safety protocol has been put into place to protect against the spread of the virus for the players and staff. The overwhelming concern is the risk of spread as the players travel across the country at a time when that’s inadvisable. They can then come in contact with people who have little to no interest in the success of the MLB. What will the response be if an outbreak occurs in the MLB? Will the season continue while both Covid-19 and the flu could be in the forecast in the late fall and early winter? These hard and morbid questions are those that the MLB must be ready and willing to answer.

We are all on the edge of our seat waiting for things to get back to normal, and as of now, we are on the right track. With entertainment beginning to show its face, many questions and concerns arise. The MLB is taking the first steps in providing us with the sports we have craved so much and we are all interested to sit back and watch as it unfolds. Hopefully all will go well and by 2021 we can pack the stands with fans to cheer on their favorite team. When that time does come, please consider VIPTIX for all your ticket needs. Now “Play Ball!”

Covid-19 has had an astronomically large effect on the way the world is working in 2020. One area that has been hit with a change so hard is the entertainment industry. People are yearning to get out and do social things, but for the most part, can not. Restaurants are limited, events are cancelled and large gatherings are virtually prohibited. The entertainment industry is looking for creative ways to stay alive and bring the views what they so desperately desire. One clever idea that has been treading around the country is drive in concerts. Is this the future of entertainment…at least for now?

Drive in movies have always been a hit since they first came on the scene in the 1950s. The idea of being both social while being isolated was one that people enjoyed. Although this fad did lose steam throughout the years, this new idea for concerts and shows is bringing the interest back to life. First starting with Garth Brooks and now countless other artists are looking to tour this way. The way this works is that each car costs $114 to enter. This ticket gets you and a carload of people into the concert. The show will then be displayed live on the screens throughout the drive in. This same show will be shown in drive ins across the country, but will be the only way to see the event. This type of viewing can be used for sporting events as well. It allows the audience to have the feeling of togetherness, while still being safe.

This may not be the most conventional way to see shows, but due to the unprecedented circumstances of the 2020 Coronavirus, the drive in viewing is a great way to fill the void of the entertainment we are lacking. Whether you are craving excitement or you miss the feeling of togetherness, the drive in viewings are a way to improve the entertainment world in 2020. Would you go see your favorite artist or team on the big drive in screen?
