Technology and Sports have long been comfortable bedfellows. The very first live televised sporting event in the US took place on May 17, 1939 from Columbia’s Baker Field, where the Columbia Lions battled the Princeton Tigers in baseball.
Since then, the pace of innovation in the SportsTech world is accelerating at an ever increasing rate.
Innovations in TV delivery continue to change the viewer experience, while streaming of sports events is becoming a viable and potentially disruptive alternative. Human-to-computer interfaces and wearable electronics are revolutionizing the way athletes and weekend warriors train. Sports-centric social media is creating new relationships among athletes, leagues, fans, and players.
