Summary
During a game between the Kansas City Royals and the Minnesota Twins at Kaufmann Stadium, high winds caused issues with the broadcast. The wind blew water from the stadium’s fountains into the center field camera, making it difficult to see the action on the field. As a result, the broadcast had to switch to a different camera angle behind home plate. The fountains, which are a distinctive feature of the stadium, were operating during the game and were illuminated with colored lights.
Our Reading
The spectacle enters the chat.
The fountains, a staple of Kaufmann Stadium, became the main attraction due to the high winds. The 322-foot wide fountains, which are the largest privately funded fountains in the world, were blowing water onto the center field camera. The broadcast had to make an unusual change to show the game from a different angle. The winds were so strong that they forced the broadcast to adapt. And the fountains, normally a beautiful feature, became a nuisance.
Because what’s a baseball game without a little water in the camera lens?
