Huuuuuuuuuuge screen. Fixed camera angle (a weird/poor one, bizarrely).
Interesting...

Why would it 'make you think you are at the stadium'?
Substitutes the only advantage TV has compared to the live experience, almost guaranteed good viewing angle. I love to go behind the goal at a match sometimes, but it's mostly for the atmosphere. Ridiculous!

It’s not going to even be close to replicating being there for the atmosphere etc. but if you’re living in LA then this is by far the best you’re going to get to seeing your team. I like it

Watched the Cup Final in Ye Olde King's Head in Santa Monica one time. That was pretty decent. Apart from the game starting at stupid o'clock, obviously

It's an experience. Aimed at those who will never get to the stadium (make your own jokes about Man United fans).
Anyone who wants to watch on traditional TV can do that too.

Ha. I watched a European (UEFA?) Cup final in that pub once. High-scoring Liverpool game, IIRC.
That looks great if you can't get to the game, but my eye baubles (which need glasses) don't like big screens sadly...

I reckon they'll move the camera back 20 or so rows in the future... with only approved fans (actors) allowed in front of it.
Imagine these all over the world. Crazy revenue potential.

The small screens above looked to be one second ahead of the big screen. Watch the corner being taken on the small screen then a second later taken on the big screen.

When you watch Palarse game at Selhurst on these MASSIVE tv's, are there filters to make it look pleasant

Looks great. Different technology viewing live event, but links to my expectation that it will soon be possible to attend the 1966 World Cup Final as an "experience" (or The Battle of Waterloo for that matter...) ...

Yeah, I think folk need to understand that it's not aimed at folk who go - or could realistically go - to live matches.
I mean, Abba's giant screen Voyage thing is not "as good" as seeing them live... but that's not really the point is it?

So the camera position does change…

It looks amazing. Get a few drinks in people in there and could get the atmosphere going. I'd try it if nowhere near the real thing.

Would be fantastic if something similar could be trialled in the new Fanzone
