Stanford at Cal tomorrow Wednesday at 7:00pm PT on ACCNX.  

Maybe it's my imagination but I don't like watching livestreams or telecasts from Haas Pavilion because it seems like the cameras are a hundred miles away from the court.

Thanks for the preview.  IIRC Haas also has pretty bad lighting.

I think it's the camera angles.  For some reason, they seem to only have very high-angled shots.

Have folks been at.Haas in person? I have for basketball. You get those high angles from the seats too; they're very steeply pitched

I once got to sit in the very top row at Haas, back when Stanford men's basketball team was must see stuff.    The pitch was horrifying.    Some arenas will have tiers or decks, so it is not uncommon for the top decks to have steep pitches.    However, this pitch was steeper than anything I had seen in any arena AND that pitch is maintained all the way down to the seats right near the basketball floor.

I have gone just one other time, for volleyball, and thankfully got to sit closer to the action.   However at almost every seat in the venue one will realize they are much higher above the action than one might expect in other venues.

So when I see Haas games on TV for volleyball or basketball I not only am reminded of my personal viewing experiences, but I also understand why the TV angles are so funky compared to more typical venues.

Very well put.
