@Fenway is it true that camera operators are “grumpy”?

BOSTON — On Dec. 30, three days before the 2023 Winter Classic, TNT technicians were debating a dilemma. The makeshift booth on the first-base side — a private suite on Fenway Park’s pavilion level during baseball season — for play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert and analyst Ed Olczyk features a garage-door-style window that can roll up to give the broadcasters a clear view.

Ballpark officials had warned the techs about a possible problem. The windows are so old that in other suites, they have been known to get stuck in between. The last thing Albert and Olczyk would want is to call Bruins-Penguins while peeking through a half-open window.

It is not the only quirk. The shot known as Camera 1, the standard left-to-right rink panorama, will be slightly askew. On Level 5 above first base, where Camera 1’s Sony HDC-3500 is located, a set of stairs stands directly across from the red line. It would not be possible to place a tripod, to say nothing of a grumpy camera operator, on the stairs.

Inside TNT’s NHL Winter Classic coverage: 300 techs, 12 slo-mo cameras, one ESPN rivalry

For TNT, the Winter Classic will not be about whether Sidney Crosby outperforms Patrice Bergeron. "The star of the show is Fenway Park."

You don't hear many Tom Landry references these days. Kudos, Monty.

(As a Redskins fan growing up, I hated the Cowboys but Landry was a great coach)

If you watch King Of The Hill you do

The amount of content I have for a GDT for tomorrow is insane. It may need to be a multi post GDT

I forget the setup for the 2010 game, but looks like the Bruins' bench will be on the 'other' side of the red line as opposed to their normal setup at the Garden.

It was from 1st base to 3rd base
