American sports fans prefer HDTV to stadiums

A survey by Motorola has found that nearly half of Americans would
rather watch college or professional American football on a high
definition TV than in person.

The survey of more than 1,000 adults found that 45 percent would rather
watch college or professional American football on a high-definition TV
than watch the game in person. Only one in three respondents indicated
they would rather watch a college or professional American football game
in person.

"The survey results really speak to the popularity of high-definition
programming," said Doug Means, Motorola corporate vice president and
general manager, Home and Networks Mobility. "The colour, the clarity
and the crispness of a sporting event delivered in high definition is
almost like being there-but from the comfort of your own home."

The survey also found that more men than women would rather watch a game
on a high definition TV than in person (51 percent of men vs. 41 percent
of women).
