3 Ways that the media has increased spectator appeal
- Instant Replays
The media has introduced instant replays into soccer which results in a better viewing experience. This is because if something is not seen or isn't obvious the viewers are able to have more enjoyment by rewatching an event occurring for example a foul or goal. With instant replays spectators find watching soccer more appealing because they are able to debate whether they think that the right decision was made.
- Live TV
The media has been using live broadcast for a while now. People with digital TV's or computers capable of streaming live videos are able to have access to soccer games live. This has really boosted the interest in soccer because spectators want live games and not just highlights and replays. Having this has boosted spectator appeal because people who wouldn't normally want to watch a game of soccer are wanting to watch the soccer because it is a good atmosphere for a group of people to watch.
- Animated Advertisements
This is a weird technology to be acknowledged but it really does work. Nike - one of the main manufacturer's of football gear - has recently made an advertisement with star players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo and David Luiz featuring. I know at our school people are more interested in soccer because the way Nike have grasped the attention of non-spectators and converting them into people who want to watch the game.
