First look at the revamped NBA bubble courts for season restart.

The NBA has revealed photos of the new NBA courts which will host the games within the NBA bubble when the season resumes. The courts, which will obviously be fan-less have a bit more flair than normal and resemble football endzone with big screens and signage.

Check out the photos here.

The “multidimensional plan” was made as a way for fans to feel a part of the game since they will not be able to attend the games in 2020.

Here are some of the features for the new NBA court

“While fans won’t be physically present at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, more than 300 NBA fans each game will be invited to appear live on the Michelob ULTRA Courtside 17-foot video boards surrounding the court,” the NBA said via a press release. “Those fans will have the opportunity to digitally interact with each other throughout the game using Microsoft’s Together mode to create a virtual experience by removing fans from their individual backgrounds and bringing them together in a shared visual space that will be seen through the broadcast and in the venue.  This new experience—the first to go live as a result of the NBA’s strategic alliance with Microsoft—gives participating fans the feeling of sitting next to one another at a live game without leaving the comfort and safety of their homes, while players experience their energy and support in-venue.  As previously announced, Michelob ULTRA – the official beer partner of the NBA that stands for active enjoyment – is tipping off its new multiyear partnership and presenting the league’s virtual fan experience, bringing fans closer to the game.”

We know this isn’t ideal for you diehard baseball fans who need to be present for all the games, but this is a great option and a potential way to get involved in a way we never have before.

The NBA resumes on July 30.
