Will VR Take Over Live Sports? w/ Chris Lyons
In this episode, Ndamukong sits down with entrepreneur and No Free Lunch contributor Chris Lyons to explore how virtual reality is starting to enter the live sports experience. They look at Major League Baseball's recent deal with Gym Class VR-- a play to expand baseball's audience. With virtual ballpark access, interactive access to players, and online merch, MLB is hoping to attract younger digital natives to the game. But will VR deepen fan engagement enough to fill parks IRL?
