I have been lucky enough to have gone to a lot of live football games.  I question whether people who believe they can see everything have actually been to a game.  Unlike basketball in which the entire half court can be shown in one shot, during a football game a television viewer can only watch what the camera is focused on.  Typically, this means you will be watching the quarterback and will not see the routes run by the receivers.  On running plays, the television viewer may miss downfield blocking and certainly will not see what is happening on the opposite side of the field.

That being said, replays are important.  I was at the MNF game last night and the screens show the play as it occurs and then will replay it several times from different angles.  I have heard a rumor that the screen operator will not replay plays in which the opposing team may have cause to throw the red flag and will replay reversible plays for the Packers incessantly.

I was frustrated though regarding the lack of information about Aaron Rodgers condition and the lack of any wi-fi or a good a data signal for my smart phones.  Due to the students reliance on smart phones, colleges need to make sure this is not an issue.  It has been a couple of years since I have been able to get back to the Dome for any type of game, but does it have wi-fi?  If not, does anyone know what the cost would be?

At the end of the day, though, winning is what is needed to bring people back to the games.  The athletic department in my other alma mater was in the red until the football team began winning consistently in 1993.  Now, for good tickets, not only do people need to pay for the price of the season ticket, they also need to make a donation.
