Top 10 Ways Technology Strengthens Sports Sector

Technology has revolutionized every sector around us, no matter its educational, industrial, or sports. Smartphones and iPads have become a basic need nowadays, and we need both of these devices to survive. If you’re a sports lover, you must know about instant replay booths.

Instant replay and that yellow first-down line are just as important, if not more as anything Apple comes out with. The games and the ways that we’re able to watch them have been marked by technology. Here are the top 10 ways technology makes sports management better than ever before. 

• We Can Control the Weather

In 2008, China aimed to control the weather during the Beijing Olympics by breaking up the clouds that appeared to cause rain. It’s not just an incredible technological advancement, but it is also downright crazy.

• Instant Replay

Replay could be an imperative technological aspect in sports history. It’s up to each individual and sport to follow the rules and practices to ensure accuracy. It has become an essential part of the NFL, MLB, and ATP. Both fans and athletes want a fair game, fixing mistakes is the only way to ensure that game gets played the right way.

• Improved Field Condition

Do you remember the Brady Bunch AstroTurf backyard? Well, athletes used to play on fields just like that and got injured many times. Now, grounds crews have urged their owners for new fields that are maintained accurately. It seems like a carpet out there, and I’m damn sure that athletes love it. These changes make sports better than ever before.

• Fantasy Sports

Fantasy sports are dorky, but it is a billion-dollar a year industry.  When fantasy baseball initially started, people would look at the previous day’s box score to calculate the winners. Now, we have up to the seconds’ stat lines and updates that make the game more thrilling.

Whatever you say about fantasy sports, but it helps to bring people who don’t have a lot of knowledge about game but they learn through it.

• Better Viewing Experience

There’re many simple things that we take for granted while watching sports. One of these is the first down line in football, and the other being the score displayed at the bottom of your screen. These features haven’t always been there, that’s why being taken for granted now. One might argue that these two little changes have made the viewing experience better.

• High Definition

The home entertainment system has never old-fashioned. 50-inch televisions are now set in living rooms, and that’s a major reason to attract attention. As tickets are expensive, people prefer to stay home and watch their favorite sports on TV with family and friends. This took a turn to better when high definition became standard to everyone.

• Video Gaming Experience

I’m the first to admit that my soccer interest began with FIFA’09 and has grown ever since. Video gaming has made it necessary for people like me to play a game in VR. Now you can play your most liked games sitting at home with advanced technology.

• Ticket Purchasing

Remember those days when we used to go stadium to buy tickets in long ques. Those days are over now with the latest technology. Now, every sports event you want to join is either on the official website or other linked websites. This revolutionized our ability to go to the stadiums and find the seat we want to sit in.

• Information

Now, we all can download applications on our phones that make the sports as easy as a text message. ESPN mobile and other websites have made it simple to know the scores and read the analysis. This has made even the most casual sports management into a technology junkie.

• Incredible Stadiums

In previous years we have seen the manufacturing of Yankee Stadium and Cowboys Stadium. These two places are barely a platform to play sports anymore. High definition jumbotrons, 48 beers, and booming sound systems make you feel like you’re on a different planet or dreaming.

It enhances the game experience like never before. Match highlights are seen accurately, nothing gets lost and every fan leaves happy whether the team wins or loses. It’s a truly unforgettable experience that takes your sports experience to a whole new level.
