It may look and sound the same, but no one is accidentally spilling beer in merriment or telling their friends they were there.

It builds the brand. Watching the game on tv is already a far superior way to actually see what’s happening. No different from any other live event, it’s a social experience.

I agree with you for football, but the first 5 rows at an NBA game are amazing. And it's very easy to see what's going on.

Yes and no.

Knowing the entire state of the game? Sure, TV's pretty good.

But watching on TV doesn't give the strong impression of the sheer physicality of the game that sitting a row or two away from the court does. I used to sit baseline for Warriors games and it sure left an impression.
