New Year's Eve is going to look a little different this year.
The New Year's Eve ball will still drop in Times Square, but the event will be missing its roughly one million audience members who typically brave the cold and the crowds to welcome in the new year.
In 2020, the world-famous event that more than one billion people watch on TV each year will not be open to the public. Instead, artists and personalities will perform to cameras in an empty square, as the entire event has gone virtual in light of the ongoing pandemic.
Not only will the square itself be essentially empty, but so will the tower. With most of its revenue coming from billboards, the tower's interior only has a couple of tenants and remnants from past businesses.
