100% this. Why not do full audio/video capture of the best seat in the house for every sporting event. I am very bearish on VR in general, but as a sports fan this is something I would use about 480 hours per season. Apple actually acquired NextVR that was doing this sort of thing:

The company was one of the video card manufacturers of the time, promoting their large and bulky VR headset. This was around '93-94?
