Hi, I'm Carla Zeus with a summer session of CNN 10.

It's great to see you this Tuesday, and we're kicking off the show with a sports report.

Play Ball is sounding out once again Major League baseball stadiums across America.

The season was originally scheduled to get underway on March 26th, but it was delayed for months because of the coronavirus pandemic, and a shortened season of 60 games began on July 23rd and 24th.

The Miami Marlins home opener last night was one of them called off because at least 14 players and coaches tested positive for Cove in 19.

The National Basketball Association was in the midst of its 2019 2020 season when it had to postpone games because of Cove In 19 NBA games were scheduled to resume in three days.

22 of the 30 teams are set to play eight remaining regular season games to determine who goes to the playoffs.

According to ESPN National Hockey League games are set to resume on August 1st National Football League games Air set to kick off as scheduled on September 10th Major League Soccer has been back in action since early this month.

But the games that are being played right now don't look the same, and they don't sound the same.

The crowds were missing the cheers and boos.

Air silent officials were still debating how to bring actual fans and not the cardboard ones back in the stadiums.

And while people are allowed to attend some of South Korea's baseball games, major changes are easy to see.

This is what a baseball game looks like in South Korea during a pandemic.

As of today Sunday, 10% of fans are allowed into the stadium toe watch live.

You've got the markings on the ground to make sure this social distancing within the queuing itself and then as you come in.

Gone are the days of flashing your ticket and walking in.

You have tohave a temperature check to make sure you have no kind of fever.

And if you do, there is actually a quarantine area just outside of the stadium, in case there are those who have a high temperature.

So the next part of the process is the Q R code.

Now this is to make sure they know exactly who is inside in case they need Thio do any kind of contact tracing now.

I will admit it took me a few times to try and download this technology, but it did work in the end, and then you go simple is that you scan it.

So if there is a problem or any kind of outbreak, they know exactly how to get hold of May.

So just under 2500 fans have been allowed inside This'll Stadium, and the tickets actually sold out online within less than an hour and a half, according to officials.

Now the fans are scattered throughout the stadium.

No food or alcohol is allowed in the stands.

Baseball is massive here in the past games that I've seen Thio watching Spectators is almost as much fun as watching the game itself.

South Korean fans are known for their chanting there, singing their dancing.

Fans have also been asked not to chant as much in order to try and prevent saliva documents.

Now one father here with his 11 year old son tells me there to create the Korean baseball atmosphere.

There's always a competition between the fans as well.

There's a cheering section for a home team and a visiting team, and they go back and forth now.

There's no doubt that it is not to say very little is these days, but the fans here, this is a very mixed all had long since CNN song 12th Trivia, which of these locations is known as the City of Big Shoulders?

Chicago, Illinois, Buffalo, New York or Singapore?

The answer is the Windy City, the mud city.

Chicago is one of the American cities whose growth reportedly has slowed down, and the reason could be because of shifting attitudes about where people want to live.

Millennials now make up America's largest generation.

Pew research defines this group is people born between 1981 and 1996.

That means they're in their mid twenties to late thirties today, and experts say changes in their outlook could change cities as we know them.

The cove in 19 Pandemic has many taking a fresh look at life outside cities with two thirds of the country already living in the suburbs and beyond.

In hard hit places like New York, some urban dwellers air contemplating what they might have once considered unthinkable, leaving the value of the city tow us was being around all the people being able to go to all the restaurants and the culture, like the museums and the plays and everything.

Um, it's difficult to justify paying the rent, being in a small, confined space and having no access thio being outdoors by yourself.

So in the first six months, which is really incredible when you think about how much business was not being able to be done during the pandemic, Fairfield County as a whole did about $2.36 billion in sales, and that's 12% over the same period last year.

And even better than that, you know, if we're just looking from the end of June to the end of June, pending sales are up 49%.

Uh, this is what we're like desperate for in the city.

I know it's so nice is just some outdoor space.

It's not just the suburbs in greater metropolitan areas that are booming.

People are also buying farther out beyond typical commuter distances.

It went from 0 to 500 without any ramp up the minute they relaxed it enough that people could really get into houses.

And people were at that point realizing that this was not going to end.

E think the majority of what we've seen are people that have been considering moving to the suburbs from the city, and it's really kind of been the nudge that's got them to the burbs, just with everything going on in the pandemic.

And there's reason to believe in Exodus was coming.

Regardless, millennials who are responsible for much of the urban growth in the early part of the decade, are reaching an age where city life might have run its course.

Since 2015 to 2020 lot of cities have not grown as rapidly as they did in the first half of the decade, so it's not just New York, it's Chicago, it's Los Angeles, it's it's a kind of softening of growth and monk cities all over the country before the pandemic hit.

But on the heels of the millennial flight, another generation may just be waiting for their apartments.

Talked about people moving to cities 10 years ago.

They were talking about millennials and millennials.

And Jen's ears, even more so than millennials, are more racially diverse and have city roots.

And they're used to living in this kind of breanna.

So, you know, once the economy comes back just a little bit cities, they're gonna be very attractive.

The Gens ears, just like cities, were attractive millennials back when the great recession was at its peak.

While few companies have yet to commit to a permanent work from home future, the question still remains.

You might have heard of the band of brothers, The Band of Gold, the band of Married Men.

It's a project made up of scrap metal, air pressure, pistons and the imagination of an artist named Kolya Cuba.

I start, obviously was a music making parts of fingers plugging playing on.

Then I built character behind it, you know, especially thing about my world.

They play the flute, the gun affinity for punk rock.

The whole band is called the One Last Machine band.

My robots perform all around the world Tech events, festivals, university lectures or Ted talks.

When people see the robot, it's like they freeze for a while.

There's this moment off what's going on here?

Then it's usually the It's a childish gleam in joy.

I like to use scrap macro because there's so much weight to the world.
