The recent Copa America game between the United States and Uruguay faced criticism from viewers due to the camera angle used in FOX Sports’ broadcast. The game, held at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, was crucial for the USMNT’s chances in the tournament and drew a wide audience. However, viewers were displeased with the camera angle, prompting FOX Sports commentators John Strong and Stuart Holden to explain that it came from the world feed controlled by tournament organizers CONMEBOL, not FOX Sports.
Behind the scenes, FOX Sports producers quickly recognized the issue and worked to rectify it with officials from HBS and Copa. The camera angle was adjusted to a more traditional view midway through the first half, easing the viewers’ frustrations. Despite this effort, however, Holden humorously remarked on the high camera angle saying “This is not a stadium for ants.”
In previous games such as Inter Miami’s match in Major League Soccer, there was no camera angle issue. Nevertheless, despite attempts to fix it, Holden humorously remarked on how he had never seen a stadium like Arrowhead Stadium before. In conclusion, while Holden may have found it hard to adjust to the high camera angle of Arrowhead Stadium during this game
