The Rogers Center is gearing up for fifty three thousand attendees and 8 million viewers tuning into one of the most exciting sporting events in North America - the 100th Grey Cup on TSN. While all eyes are focused on the football plays and the half-time show, what people don't see is the amazing technology, coordination and talent that work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to prepare for and pull off the live broadcast of this multi-million dollar event. In the high adrenalin world of live event broadcasting, there are no second chances. Deadlines can't be missed and decisions are split second. It takes more than 200 skilled technicians six days to convert 1.6 million cubic meters inside the Rogers Centre into a full HD, live television broadcast studio. Using ten kilometers of camera cable, crews connect 37 cameras and more than 150 microphones to capture the plays and the sound inside the dome.
