A film director could still restrict the viewer's vantage point to just by having a few camera angles shooting the same scene from different angles. The camera technology should at least allow viewers to move their head to pan around. Sports leagues also assumed that more live TV coverage would decrease ticket sales, but in reality TV became the promotional vehicle that grew their audience and increased demand for tickets. Nowadays most leagues could care less about ticket sales, as long as the seats appear occupied on television, they'll sell tickets at prices that match the demand, but otherwise make room in the game for commercial breaks because the TV audience matters more.
