You deserve more as sports fan

*Full disclosure: I work as the Executive Editor for TCU 360.

Texas Christian University showed their new Big 12 Conference partners what they could do in a newly renovated stadium on Saturday.

TCU 360’s adviser created a livestream to capture all of the happenings during TCU’s season opener.

 What’s different about it?

I’ve never seen anything like it, so that’s exactly why I think it’s different. If you scroll down you’ll see strategically picked tweets and posts pop up. The live blog is pinned to the top for viewers to keep an eye on the score. TCU 360 chose to include other tweeps’ posts, photos and also links to off-field stories.  They tried to hit every viewer’s interest in order for them to feel like they were really at the game.

Why I like it.

I’m from Texas and I love me some football. I usually just watch the game and if I can’t watch, check my Twitter for score updates or follow a live blog. The livestream encompasses those two and offers even more for the non-sports fanatics.  

Why you should like it.

If you give some new idea like this a chance, it will only make your experience as a sports fan better. Enough with the simple ticker or standard “TCU 56 - GSU 0” tweet. You want more than that. You deserve more than that. If the technology is there for you to get the ins and outs of a game, you should be able to catch that perfect pass and run it all the way down the field.
