Today, sporting events in the United States and throughout the world attract and fascinate millions of fans. Research in the United States has shown that more than twenty-three percent (23%) of individuals age 12 and above are willing to buy tickets to watch the National Football League (NFL), more than ten percent (10%) are willing to buy tickets to watch the National Basketball Association (NBA), and thirteen percent (13%) are willing to buy tickets to Major League Baseball (MLB) games. These statistics are only within the United States and do not take into consideration the worldwide interest in those sports nor the world wide interest in Soccer and Auto Racing, which provide additional unlimited options for sales.
Every year in the United States, major professional sports attract millions of Americans. In addition to the professional games, college games, high school games and minor league teams attract hundreds of thousands more fans.
Watching games live is the ultimate experience as the audience can feel the pageantry, atmosphere and heartbeat of the games. Yet the noise in stadiums can be distracting and, with large crowds in the stadium, audiences often cannot obtain the most accurate and updated play- by-play of events as they unfold on the field. This is especially true for fans located in seats distant from the field, handicapped fans who have poor vision or are unable to stand, and those fans who are temporarily away from their seats for personal reasons or are waiting in line at concessions.
The Live Action Broadcasting System (LAB) will not only allow fans to feel the spirit and atmosphere of the game, but hear clearly the play-by-play that is being broadcast by the local radio or TV (audio) station, no matter where they are in the stadium.
