It's great for drunks who want to eat, take bathroom and bar breaks, hold a beer and a pizza in hand. Great for parents who don't have to helicopter parent. Great for kids who can see their idols up close. Great for seniors who aren't quick enough to get out of the way. Great for casual fans who don't want to bring a glove to the stadium or can't catch a soft toss let alone a line drive. Even great for baseball fans who want to talk about the game, write shit in their score books, check the scores from other games. It's great for the players who have all said repeatedly they want nets. Nets don't just benefit the pussies who can't get out of the way. They benefit everybody.
It's bad for the 2 or 3 times a game a foul ball hits the new nets instead of going into the crowd. And the 1 or 2 people I've actually heard complain about it obstructing the view. It's not just a safety benefit. It's great for the game.
