Streaming: good or bad?

[Wilmatucky]

Obviously technology is the way of the world now and it makes things much more convenient, but how much do you think it hurts the atmosphere at a game?

I can get to CCHS in roughly 15 minutes (barring no trains stop me once in CC). The forecast is not what I would call miserable by any means and it would give me a chance to see some of my coaler friends as well as stop at babes for lunch and a bloody. I will more than likely elect to watch the game on YouTube at least until half then decide if I want to venture over.

I know his has been discussed before but what are your guys thoughts? Does it hurt the game? I know grandma and grandpa who live out of state get a chance to see Johnny now, but would it be wise for a home team to say no streaming allowed and try to pump up attendance? How soon in the future until every game is streamed regular and post season?

We are already to the point of most post season events being streamed. Regular season is there for some/many schools. I don't think it hurts schools the way everyone would like to claim. There are some that won't go because they're whatever, but I think most people only use the video when they can't get there due to multiple games at the same time, geography, illness, etc.

Look at professional and college teams... they've got everything on video.

As to the home team saying no streaming allowed, I'd say good luck with that. Unless you're going to start gate checking to make sure nobody is bringing phones and other electronic devices, there will always be video.
