They could have tens or hundreds of cameras, and reconstruct what a virtual cameraman moving on the field with the action would record.

I think such a virtual camera technically almost is possible. Getting a smoothly moving camera image that doesn’t get distracted by ball-like objects (e.g. a bald referee, as happened in soccer recently) and tunes zoom levels to show just enough action probably is the hardest part.

Intel did this for American Football but it looks like it needed some serious processing so maybe not possible LIVE yet.

Would probably also need some kind of remote GPU too like Google Stadia if you’re going to get any kind of real-life picture quality.

Haha, maybe I would pay 3500 for that...
