No it doesn't, I've had seats behind home plate and the protective netting at Comerica Park on many occasions and it didn't obstruct my view whatsoever.........
Me too. If your sitting directly behind the net, the focal point is beyond the netting, the netting will become nearly invisible. In the case of a foul ball, if you keep your eyes on the ball the netting will become visible as the ball approaches the net.
I think it would be more of a visual impairment for those sitting father away due to the small weaving and the fact that your focal point is much broader.
Personally for me having attended several hundred baseball games, my attention is always on the field to the greatest extent possible. I go to games to watch the game and not for the social interaction.

Hasn’t been much to watch there lately. I do remember the 68 team with the best pitching staff, The last 30 game winner.... to bad he could not stay out of truoble
