Message: [QUOTE="DblCrossbar, post: 4559494, member: 12251"] Interesting piece on the technology and control rooms that exist behind the scenes to support both live arena and video supports. Having had to watch the student only game vs Alaska Anchorage on ESPN+ it was curious to see Tuscano on the screen for a whole game vs the highlights fed to Twitter etc. There are no issues regarding where the commentators are, but the cameras have been placed at a level too low. There is a frequent disruption of the scene by fans either standing or moving up and down stairs. They literally block the view of the ice surface which is very annoying and bush-league. The cameras should have been placed up at the Blue Line Lounge level to avoid that visual interruption but with a mandatory $1k per ticket donation to be up there, there's a fat chance that they'll do the right thing and move the cameras up there for a better line of sight angle. There are no issues with the arena looking small on camera - all that is fine. It's definitely better than seeing swaths of empty seats like seen last night when viewing Northeastern vs UMass Lowell, but the ice level lounge looks vacuous and dumb on screen and to some degree the student deck appears to be a bizarre wall that seems to needlessly come out of nowhere.
