February 20, 2014
INDIAN WELLS, CALIF.—Live sporting events are eating themselves. There’s more and more competition between the venue and the home. A stadium in Kansas City is addressing the problem by combining the two. James Stellpflug of EVS provided an overview at the HPA Technology Retreat on Wednesday.
First, some figures from a January 2012 Cisco survey:
—74 percent of fans want to see more big screen HD content throughout the venue.
—45 percent said they would pay more if HD video was available throughout the venue.
—41 percent say they’d like to be able to see alternate camera angles than what they can see from their seat view.
