Super Bowl weekend is upon us. This episode the crew tackles the topic of sports on TV, on the internet, and in person. Live streaming of sporting events is something we’d all like to see happen more often (and better), but there are roadblocks from the league and from the networks that need to be cleared. Highlights and full-length broadcasts in VR are also pretty dope—when they work properly. It’s not all bad news though; we visit the best intersections of sports and the internet. Halfway through the episode, WIRED writer Paul Sarconi talks to Populous, an architecture firm that designs stadiums with the aim to substantially improve the fan experience.
