Will FAUX provide the only coverage at Mile High Stadium?
I'd heard that they would provide the "pool coverage" during the
convention (at least in the hall) but will they have the "monopoly"
on outdoor coverage? And if not, could this have played into the
decision to have Obama give his acceptance speech OTHER THAN in
the convention hall?

Just wondering ...

1. They will happily show a few empty seats and say the stadium is empty

2. I don't think Barack is that naive to give Fox an opportunity to try and do any
damage like they would try. Bet he has it covered.

3. Pool coverage doesn't mean much
It means they'll point the camera at the speakers and distribute it to the other networks.

I assume since they're doing the convention that will include coverage at the stadium.

There is more than one camera "live" so that indivdual directors can pick their own shot sequence

5. Of course they will cover it at Mile High Stadium. Which was torn down years ago.
It's at Invesco Field.

Mile High is no more, so count on Faux to be there.
