Are we going to the field or see it on TV?

Santander's raining, it's cold and I want to find parking around the corner. Moreover, this habit of putting the parties on Mondays at 21.00 just convinced me not, I get bit before work and have to walk in a hurry, let alone on Sundays at 22.00, the next day you have to get up early. And what about the price of tickets each year ... the top. However I can put the game on TV, in a perfect time for it and with this new HD surround sound system and do not know what else. We hire well in this channel, which also has the best reviews. Then we will see a summary of other meetings and to know who is a leader in the Belgian second division. We're watching the game is still fun, but it hurts to see that look empty soulless with many locations in the stands.

The focus on televised football is clear and compelling. The different platforms spent much money on it and try to offer the viewer the best service for your attention, and you do not miss the mind to take the remote control in this war without mercy by the audience. The LFP is aware of this and the importance of income, and guides the steps of the competition as best suited to television. If you have to put a game on Sunday at noon or ten at night, it gets. If Real Madrid, Atletico and Getafe have to play the same day in a short space of time, or they have to do Betis and Sevilla, who do, not something that affects the potential viewer with remote control in hand.

Every time you think less about the fan who goes to the field and you see the game on television. The facilities are second while increasing barriers to first increase proportionally. And not only the viewer think of Lugo, Vitoria or Cartagena, also in the Beijing or Hangzhou . The teams accept, knowing that television revenues are vital for survival, rather than ticket sales. It only happens here, in other leagues like the English and Italian. The first retains a full capacity at all stages and a great atmosphere thanks to its enviable football culture, but in Italy are also increasingly barren fields.

It reminds me, saving the logical distances, what happens in the movies. Even piracy also makes an appearance. Never be the same watching a movie in a room or a game at the stadium to watch it at home on television, even HD channel or Blu-ray is available, but more and more improved domestic experience and invent better techniques for it. A few years ago, not many, just have the means and the film and the field were a must if we wanted to see that movie or game we expected of our team. Otherwise, in the case of the first we had to go to the video store or wait for the cast it on TV, while still important that the television premiere. If we wanted to see her again, had prepared the video and tape VHS . In the case of football, had to wait impatiently to see the Stadium Study summaries if our party was not chosen by TVE . Today, everything has changed and resources have multiplied.

We welcome it, not for me to complain, but think we should take more account of who chooses to pay the entrance and give encouragement to his team from the stadium, not to schedule matches impossible or inconvenient to facilitate lazy to go to the stadium . Few things are more beautiful in the sport to watch a game with the field filled with dedicated fans from each of the seats. If we lose this, we lose part of its essence. And then can not be remedied with 3D glasses.
