Improbable tried baseball.[1] They have some kind of deal with the Major League Baseball company. Improbable's metaverse is so expensive to operate that they can't run it 24/7, so they only rent servers for pay per view special events.

American football would make more sense as something to view in VR. The action is complicated to follow.

The MLB VR app[1] is pretty neat. You can sit behind home plate with a virtual strike zone, track balls, launch trajectory, height, a bunch of stats as you watch the game play out in real time. Including live games.

A lot of the negative reviews are people confused it's not a game, it's to watch baseball games.

I can't say I'd watch a ton of games on it but I watched some playoff games on it.

Only complaint is that the players are just little cards running around the field. MLB has very good 3D tracking[2] of players on the field, if you could see a somewhat realistic model of players on the field that would be pretty amazing.

If they iterated on the concept I could see more people adopting it.
