Will be interesting for me this summer

Only pro sport I have watched in the last decade is MLB. Have had the MLB subscription for 5 years. Most nights during the season I will normally watch at least part of a game or two.

Last season I watched about 10 games all year. Not sure why, some was lack of interest after the first night and all the SJ stuff, some was having moved and having a golfcourse and pool at my disposal after work every night (not to mention not having the hour commute home every night so I was less likely to crash on the couch as soon as I got home).

I have a theory about empty stadiums. -- Maroon Baboon 03/10/2021 12:52PM

Streaming service or PPV are not likely for big time sports -- Vienna_Hokie 03/07/2021 4:08PM

This will be model unfortunately -- Mercury 03/07/2021 08:07AM

Disney will be in the Super Bowl rotation -- mrcaniac 03/06/2021 9:41PM

Interesting but I'd question the market size of attracting PPV viewership -- anotherdamnyankeehokie 03/04/2021 11:59AM

It wouldn't be all games, but the conferences could raise a crap-ton of -- reestuart 03/04/2021 12:40PM

I think the loss of "cause it's on" viewers would be huge -- Vienna_Hokie 03/10/2021 12:37PM

$30 to $50 for one game? Count me out. -- Atlee Hokie 03/08/2021 5:12PM

For that money, it better be VT in Championship Game. ** -- wwhokie1 03/11/2021 09:46AM

Cheaper than going to the game! ** -- reestuart 03/08/2021 5:45PM

There will be commercials -- mrcaniac 03/05/2021 10:53PM

Well, if I’m paying that much, I expect ZERO commercials -- C67VTCC 03/04/2021 08:40AM

I'd be all for that!!! No more 4+ hour games would be a positive. ** -- reestuart 03/04/2021 08:44AM

Even if pro games shift to PPV, I suspect there will still be commercials -- VTHokie2000 03/04/2021 7:04PM
