Potential Use In The Sports Field For Last.fm
Imagine walking into your favorite stadium for the big
game. The crowd is cheering, the hooligans are drunk, the cheerleaders
are cheering...but there's something missing. You look around:
players, coaches, officials all are there.
Then it hits you, there's no music. No "CHARGE" bugle, not organ at the baseball game, nothing. Music and sound effects help pump up the crowd at any sporting event.
Teams do have streaming audio and video on their website of the game being played. But how great would it be to log onto Last.fm, and play "Shout!" at home every time the Bills score. Yeah, that would be awesome.
Having a partnership between a league and internet music site would be a huge boost in both of the companies. A Miami Dolphins fan can hear a talk show with Chad Pennington, even though they live in Oregon. Football, or as most Americans know it as soccer, can listen to live feeds of games. Baseball fans can listen into the game from their desk, rather than just watching a box score from their computer.
True: Most teams provide this for their fans already. But if partnered with Last.fm, one of the largest music based social networks, leagues would be able to get their sport out to more people. A simple idea would be to have users check off if they would like game feeds, if selected the user would choose which teams they would like to have feeds from. Every time the user is logged on, there would be an update sent to their Last.fm player. If they decide they want to listen to the game, a simple click on the score would transfer them to the audio feed for the game.
It is a no-brainer to have this partnership. And hopefully, we will soon be able to see this implemented in the near future.
