“Sit down”: Oilers fans hate TV camera angle in Dallas
Many Edmonton Oilers fans learned last night that they do not enjoy watching hockey games played at American Airlines Center.
The Oilers took on the Dallas Stars last night in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. While there was some definite excitement throughout the high-stakes outing, many Oilers fans were quick to voice their displeasure with the camera angle on the broadcast. It appears to be far lower than at most NHL arenas, which certainly takes some getting used to.
Not enjoying the feed in Dallas
The camera angle is very bizarre
Anyone else ??

The camera seems shifty, they switch angle at terrible times, it’s brutal

Seems really close, can only see a small portion of the ice

Because of how close the camera angle was to the ice, fans watching from home couldn’t help but feel frustrated when those in the building would stand up while play was going on.
This is how it is there. Regular season is no different.
It is fine when nobody is standing, but when they are up it isn’t great.

Dallas fans just inexplicably standing the entire time and the low camera angle makes the broadcast on tv pretty horrible. I would hate watching the game there. pic.twitter.com/tyq0Mayp4L

I wish Dallas fans would sit down 😔

Incredible that there’s no really good angle on the winner because the in game production crew was fucking around with the cameras and the morons in Dallas wouldn’t sit down https://t.co/QZ5fVF6IOR

Even Canadian country singer and diehard Oilers fan Brett Kissel spoke up about it.
Is it just me or is the camera angle too close in Dallas? I’m getting a bit if motion sickness watching on TV because I’m used to a further camera view where I can see more of the ice. Hope the Oilers win in 4. Will help my eyes.

Unfortunately for Oilers fans, they will be forced to endure the same camera angles tomorrow night in Game 2. The good news for them is that the Oilers were able to take a 1-0 series lead last night, thanks to a big overtime winner off the stick of Connor McDavid.
