I watch a decent amount amount of lower league football (soccer) and one of the main pains there are automated cameras that track the ball and move accordingly, often missing crucial moments due to latency.

A setup with a fixed VR camera and a 180 FOV could totally transform the experience, because now with a VR headset I'd be the one tracking the ball with my head movements like in a real stadium.

Many smaller local clubs suffer from low attendence due to local factors like people leaving the area, not having time or just bigger clubs playing at the same time.

This could be overcome with global audiences and live VR recordings (where you're still able to move your head) and potentially be a nice source of income for many clubs selling virtual stadium tickets.
