BIG GAME ≠ BIG SCREEN

There’s sports viewing—and then there’s live sports

viewing. There’s nothing like the visceral thrill

watching the action unfold in real time, whether

it’s seeing a favorite team clinch victory in the f inal

seconds or watching a favorite player beat their

personal record.

In the past, fans could only experience all the action

if they went to the venue or caught the game on TV

at home. Today, fans should be able to follow their

favorite teams when they want, where they want, how

they want—without needing a big screen or a season

ticket.
