In this case, taking into account the large number of fans it managed to gather, many of them praising the experience, the game between the Rays and the Angels was a success. This is a very important step for MLB in its exploration of the metaverse, especially as MLB is looking for new ways to reach its fans to provide them with unique experiences.
A global experience
Major League Baseball’s (MLB) intention is to take the ballpark experience to the next level by creating a metaverse that brings games to a virtual, interactive experience for fans. Let us remember that the metaverse is a three-dimensional digital environment in which users can immerse themselves and enjoy new experiences like never before.

In the case of metaverse of the MLB, fans can create custom avatars and explore virtual stadiums that closely replicate real facilities. Likewise, they can interact with other fans, participate in games and activities related to baseball. Or watch the games live on virtual screens inside the virtual stadium.
This innovative experience makes it easy for those who cannot physically attend games to enjoy the excitement and atmosphere of a baseball stadium. It also provides the opportunity to interact with fans from around the world, creating a global community of baseball fans.
Customization options
Additionally, the MLB metaverse offers a wide range of customization options. Fans can purchase virtual items, such as t-shirts and hats, to dress up their avatars and show their support for their favorite team. They can also unlock special achievements and rewards by participating in activities and challenges within the metaverse.
MLB has integrated virtual and augmented reality technology to make the experience even more immersive. Thus, fans can use virtual reality devices to have a more immersive experience within the metaverse. They can also use augmented reality to overlay virtual elements on the real world, such as watching a live game in their living room while wearing an augmented reality device.
The creation of the MLB metaverse is an example of how sports and technology can merge to provide a unique and exciting experience for fans. As technology continues to advance, we are likely to see more sports leagues and organizations adopting this innovative approach.
