During tonight’s pre-game show, Dan Kelly and Frank Klopas sat at their mobile news desk outside Toyota Park. Two unidentified Fire fans stood right behind them. Both were wearing red home shirts and scarves, one donned an oversized red Stetson hat. When you do this kind of outdoor sports programming, fans will inevitably crowd around to gawk and mug for the cameras. It’s a feature, not a bug.
What was striking was, one, the fact that it was just these two guys rather than an actual crowd, and two, the fact that they weren’t waving or flailing for the folks at home.
