SportsCenter Has A New Home, In 2014
Worth every bit of the 125 million dollars!
At the recent advertiser showcase known as the ESPN Upfronts, the World Wide Leader unveiled a gargantuan, new Death Star-type set for SportsCenter. The broadcast will apparently utilize multiple personalities, either the largest screens known to man or massive green screens and a futuristic glass-meets-steel moderne motif.
This new iteration of SportsCenter will be housed in ESPN’s new “Digital Center 2,” a brand new 193,000 square foot building in Bristol, Connecticut on the campus of ESPN. Those Guys Have All The Fun co-author Jim Miller reported that this new building will cost the Mothership $125 million and will be opened in 2014.
ESPN has to do something to keep up with the Joneses, or Fox Sports 1.

Olbermann is going to be on-air with former Oakland Athletics closer Dennis Eckersley and a possible second analyst.
“It’s well known that Keith is a fan of the game and when you combine that with his studio experience, keen insight and passion for baseball and its history, he’ll add a new dimension to our MLB postseason studio shows,” David Levy, president of sales, distribution and sports at Turner Broadcasting, said in a statement. “We’re excited to have him join Dennis in studio, and look forward to Keith sharing his in-depth knowledge of the game, MLB teams and players with our viewers for three great weeks in October.”
