INNOVATION IN ACTION
RECREATING THE POWER OF TOGETHERNESS
Each and every week the sports industry is taking another step in the return to play process. Last week the Los Angeles Dodgers joined their fellow California Major League Baseball teams the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants as the latest team to offer fully vaccinated sections in their ballpark. Even if the state is only allowing 33% capacity, the fully vaccinated section is a great innovation to attempt to remind fans of the power of togetherness. Regaining the trust of the fans is going to be crucial for venue operators. Offering Fluid Fans safe options to return to the venue and enjoy a sense of community will require technology and innovative solutions similar to the ones on display at the California ballparks.
