It is not lost on league officials, industry
executives and entrepreneurial folks that the best seat in the house
may be in the living room, not at the game, even for marquee events
like the Super Bowl in Tampa on Sunday. Technological advances, ranging
from high-definition flat-screen TVs to laptop computers, have provided
fans on the couch with information that those in the stands never have.
That has forced sports officials to rethink the game experience
and desperately attempt to bring the living room to the game, not the
other way around" Our living room is 5 miles from Raymond James Stadium as the crow flies - and trust me we plan to stay right here. Least we can do for the advertisers who are spending $ 100,000 a second for each of their commercials :) I did take my son yesterday to the NFL Experience on the grounds of the stadium to get a feel for the ambiance - and the prices - of the Big Game.
"Guys will call up from
Giants Stadium, asking what happened," said Hirsch, a 56-year-old from
New City, N.Y. "Because they know we saw the play from 15 different
angles."
