The Fab Five
The Future of Sports
-Just like anything in life, the world of sports will evolve over time
-Instant Replay
-Stadiums
-Teams
-College Athletes Getting Paid
Instant Replay
-Used primarily in football right now, but also used in basketball and baseball
-Over time we believe that all sports will eventually start to use instant replay
-Will provide more accurate results
Stadiums
-In the future we believe that new stadiums will continue to get bigger.
-Some sports like football need a certain size of stadium to host a Super bowl which is 70,000 seats
-Move from real grass fields to artificial turf fields for easier upkeep
-Technological advances such as retractable real grass fields, retractable roofs, retractable windows and even massive jumbo trons will be used in every new stadium.
Stadiums
-Dallas’s Cowboys Stadium
Stadiums
-Indianapolis Colts Lucas Oil Stadium
Stadiums
-Arizona’s University of Phoenix Stadium
Teams
-There are many states that don’t have professional teams for every sport
-In the future we believe that more and more professional sports teams will be created
-There are some really big cities for example Los Angeles that doesn’t have a football team
College Athletes Getting Paid
-In the future we could also see college athletes getting paid to play the game
-This would be added on top of their scholarships
-Steve Spurrier South Carolina's head football coach recently offered an interesting yet far-from-feasible proposal that would give 70 players a $300 stipend every game.
