The spectator-less event due to the coronavirus gives TV broadcasters and producers a chance to experiment with how they present and cover MLS games.
MLS Is Back tournament could be in jeopardy due to players testing positive for COVID-19 and other clubs delaying their arrival to Orlando, Fla.For the opener, at least, it will be like no other soccer broadcast in history. Rosenfeld and her 160-person crew plan to use more than 20 cameras, about double the number for a regular MLS broadcast.
The plan is to have the center referee wear a microphone while others will be embedded in the turf near the center circle and close to both benches. About the only thing you won’t see or hear is the sweat dripping from each player’s brow. But Rosenfeld is working on that. “Our position is to be authentic to the experience,” she said. “Talk to me in three weeks and I may say, ‘Oh, that was a terrible idea.’ I personally am curious how this will sound.
“You’re going to hear cleat hitting ball. You’re going to hear when the goalie makes a save. Things that never get exposure because the crowd is drowning it out. My hope is it will feel immersive.”The all-access experience isn’t cheap. Although ESPN and MLS, which is responsible for much of the upfront costs, declined to discuss figures, the production cost for the tournament will probably be about $10 million.
