Stadiums with sh*t tv camera angles

If they get in the CL next season they'll need to move it. CL group stage requires gantries that are 3D-video capable, and that has a minimum angle. Spurs had to do it when they were in the CL.

The angle is poor, even though it better shows the viewer how many away team players are camped in their own box, when the ball comes near them. It's rarely less than 10.

Yeah, it's shocking. Those seats are, as far as I know, all Club Wembley tickets. That means, I think, that they aren't necessarily fans of the clubs in question, just those who commit to buying tickets to both cup semi finals, the final and England internationals. Assuming I'm right on that, it makes sense that there would be so many empty seats for the semi finals.

  The incident in Mexico?

These poor camera positions are probably due to the pitch-side advertising. When it's low down the LED ads appear on TV much more often.

Germany beat Costa Rica 4-2 in Munich at the 2006 World Cup and the camera view was excellent for that game. However Bayern use an awful view nowadays. Games from Wembley can be broadcast from either side of the pitch. So an England game can be shown live from high or low positions depending on the country.  A couple of years ago an England game was broadcast live on both ITV and TV3. ITV used the low angle that people don't like, while TV3 had the high one. So people in England actually got a worse view of the game than other people around the world. Lansdowne Road did this when we played Russia a few years ago. The camera height was the same for both broadcasts though. However the alternative camera allowed for Russian advertising to a Russian audience. Back in the mid 90s Real Madrid used a high up camera view. So there's probably an alternative available there too. But then the ads wouldn't be as visible. When Liverpool changed it was a surprise. They went higher instead of lower. I wonder will that last?

Top top football anorak.  You may find my thread on goal nets and stanchions stimulating

They also did it for the Germany game in 2015. It has happened a few times.
