BACK TO SCHOOL...FOR SOME

WAIT...IS THAT THE WORLD SERIES I HEAR?

Tonight, when the Dodgers take the field to play game three of the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays, there will be only about 11 thousand 500 fans in the audience.  Because of the need for social distancing, that’s only about quarter of what the stadium could hold. But the TV audience will hear a crowd that seems much larger. That's thanks to Hollywood Bowl sound designer Fred Vogler and his team.
