Behind The Scenes With ESPN2

8 May 2008

Posted by drew.epperley under: FC Dallas; MLS; New England Revolution .

A great video posted a couple days back from FC Dallas’s team blog. I didn’t catch it until today when I saw a bit of it on ESPN’s video page. Anyways, back when ESPN2 had the FC Dallas/New England game, the blog crew with FCD took the chance to get a behind the scenes look at what it takes to put together a broadcast and believe me it takes a whole lot of work.

I’ve sat through the behind the scenes with college football before with ESPN, so soccer isn’t too different. Still, worth a look. Enjoy!
