Taiwan is letting baseball fans return to its stadiums this week, becoming the first major government to let spectators back into sporting events since the COVID-19 pandemic made such an idea almost taboo.
Most sports leagues around the world, even the ones preparing to restart their seasons, are not that far along and will play games without live fans for some length of time. Their decisions could shape how sporting events look and sound for months to come.
Could that lead to parades of fans in cars honking their horns from outside the venue? Cardboard cutouts? Literal robots?
